Undergraduate students who are seeking initial Texas teacher certification<\/a> through the Tarleton Teacher Education Program are guided through the program from the time they start their application until they complete all field experiences<\/a>, testing<\/a>, and are recommended for certification<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Teacher Education Program is designed to be completed during the last two years of a student’s bachelor’s degree. The first education class, EDUC 3320 or 3321, can be taken once a student has at least 60 earned hours and is a junior. This semester is referred to as Block 1.\u00a0In some cases, students with a minimum of 54 credit hours and qualifying GPAs may be granted an exception. Academic departments must submit a four\u2011semester completion plan to the Director of ECAS for approval to take Block 1 without 60 earned hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students must be admitted into the Teacher Ed Program before taking Block 2. The program concludes with either a full semester of clinical teaching during Block 4 or a yearlong residency completed during blocks 3 and 4, now referred to as TR1 and TR2.
