DegreeWorks is your best tool to check what courses you still need, and the Registration portal is how you鈥檒l search for courses. Each semester our Graduate Assistants offer registration sessions to help students navigate all of the tools available to students as well as to talk about the actual registration process. Check for your registration time ticket and make a note on your calendar of when your registration period opens. The main resource is you! Prepare, prepare, prepare.

All students who have earned 69 or more credits will be assigned a grad check hold once, this usually occurs during the junior year. This hold is lifted only after students meet with their advisor to talk about registration and program completion plans. If you have a pre-grad check hold, you should be thinking about student teaching, completing your program, and participating in commencement!

Field placements are school-based experiences associated with your education coursework that provide you with opportunities to explore and reflect on your content, professional, and pedagogical knowledge and skills in a variety of classroom settings. The School of Education plans for scaffolded field experiences that start off with early field experiences that are primarily focused on active observation then practicum experiences, which, as stated above, are deeper levels of engagement field experiences, and end with the capstone student teaching semester.

Make sure you review specific course requirements for each field experience. Review all materials and guidance provided by the Office of Field Experiences prior to attending a field placement, whether that is an early field experience or a practicum experience.

We place student teachers at schools and districts within a 50 mile radius of Geneseo. Each student will have two placements.

Generally, yes. The Master鈥檚 degree needs to be related to your initial certification to count towards your professional certification. You鈥檒l be responsible for justifying how your chosen Master鈥檚 program is related to your initial certification if it isn鈥檛 directly related to it.

Obtaining a Master鈥檚 degree from an accredited institution is important for certification in NYS, most regional schools and all SUNY institutions are fully accredited. When you attend courses at these institutions, there is no indication on transcripts how those courses were offered, whether it was in-person, hybrid, or online.

Some online programs are offered nationally, or internationally, and you鈥檒l want to check to see what accreditation they hold. Accreditation should include regional accreditation (such as Middle States Commission on Higher Education or New England Commission on Higher Education) as well as a recognized education program accreditation (such as CAEP or AAQEP).
