Courses During Internship- during the internship semesters, students will enroll in TEED 684, Professional Internship, and TEED 682, Seminar. Students may not
register for any other courses during the fall or spring semesters of
the certification program without permission of the program director
and consent of intern's public school principal.
Recommendation for Certification
Students will take the Pedagogy and Professional Responsibility
(PPR) TExES test (a test of teaching ability) during the Spring
semester of their internship. Registration for the spring PPR will be
discussed during the fall seminar and the application with appropriate
fee (currently $72) will be submitted to the certification office in

Upon passing the Pedagogy and Professional Responsibility (PPR)
TExES and successfully completing internships and seminar requirements,

Education as a certification candidate. The State Board for Educator
Certification has established fees for the PPR and the Content
