Through successful completion of student teaching, candidates demonstrate endorsement competencies required for residency teacher certification with an Elementary Education K-8 endorsement. Candidates seeking an approved second endorsement in this course must also demonstrate competencies of the second endorsement.Course Entry Requirements: Pass state-required endorsement test(s)
