Teacher Education Program Admissions:

Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 as mandated by the NJDOE for teacher certification.

Ideally, students should be fully admitted into the program by the end of their first year at Ramapo; transfer students before their first semester registration.

Early advising with the TE program is recommended for admissions requirements.

Full admission to the TE program is required before registering for EDUC 222.

It’s recommended to take EDUC 211, EDUC 222, and EDUC 360 in separate semesters due to clinical experience hours.

Clinical experience hours occur outside of regular class time.

Students must meet all New Jersey Department of Education requirements for certification at the time of program completion, including a minimum of 30 credits in Health with at least 12 credits at the 300 level or higher, and at least 15 credits in Physical Education, and should refer to guidance from the Teacher Education Program.

Clinical Experience (CE):

    CE1 (EDUC 211): 22 hours in an urban public school.

    CE2 (EDUC 222): 20 hours in a public school; TE program admission required prior to registration.

Clinical Practice (CP):

    A full academic year of Clinical Practice is required by the state.

    Ramapo’s model is Fall-Spring: 180 hours in the fall, 525 hours in the spring (Clinical Practice Capstone).
