Program Sheets

These program sheets are the same ones your Teacher Education advisor will use with you when you meet with her or him. Your advisor can help you plan your program so that you will be able to get your teaching license without taking more courses than necessary. You can use the appropriate program sheet in planning; then bring the sheet to confirm your plan with your advisor. The program sheets below are in PDF format, and require Acrobat Reader to view.
