Program Standards:
Earning a Minnesota teaching certificate is not merely
course-based. Students demonstrate their possession of rigorous
outcome-based professional
standards by completing a program portfolio
as they progress through the Education Department coursework. Students
are advanced to student teaching placements only after a favorable
review of their readiness based on portfolio documentation.
