          Suggestions:   ●   Begin  planning  as  a  freshman.  Remain  involved  with  your  plan  and  keep  the  application  to   Education  on  the  horizon.   ●   Formulate  a  four-­‐‑year  plan  in  UST  1000  class  or  with  music  peer  advisor.   ●   Begin  preparing  application  materials  for  the  UMD  Department  of  Education  at  least  one   month  in  advance.

Notes:   ●   Liability  insurance  is  obtained  through  membership  in  Education  Minnesota.  The  cost  is  $30   per  year.  Coverage  lasts  one  calendar  year:  September  1st  –  August  31st.  You  must  have   liability  insurance  for  MU3606  Field  Experience,  Secondary  Practicum  and  Student  Teaching.     ●   Students  are  encouraged  to  take  the  MTLE  Basic  Skills  exams  before  their  junior  year   (while  your  knowledge  of  Math  is  fresh).     v   Students  who  have  taken  the  ACT  +  Writing  and  have  eared  a  composite  score  of  22  or   higher,  with  a  combined  English/Writing  score  of  21  or  higher  are  exempt  from  the   Basic  Skills  portion  of  the  MTLE.    

 

Terminology:  

 

Block  –  term  for  semester  classes  that  are  consistent  for  all  teacher  candidates  (cohort  system).  Most   education  students  have  a  three-­‐‑block/semester  system  of  upper  division  education  courses.  Music   students  have  a  two  block  system  that  combines  blocks  one  and  two  in  block  two.  All  have  student   teaching  in  the  block  three  (or  last  semester).  

 

All  courses  should  be  completed  prior  to  the  semester  of  student  teaching.  Student  teachers  are   not  to  be  enrolled  in  any  ensembles  or  classes  during  student  teaching.  

 

STEP:  Stands  for  Secondary  Teacher  Education  Program.  Application  to  the  Education  Department  is   also  referred  to  as  application  to  STEP.  Because  the  music  education  degree  is  administered  through   both  music  and  education,  students  must  apply  to  be  admitted  as  teacher  candidates.
