General Information

The College offers undergraduate programs leading to a bachelor ofscience in education and human sciences degree in more than 40different teaching subject areas. Some students in other University ofNebraska–Lincoln colleges choose to seek certification, completing adegree in their home college while meeting all requirements for teachercertification in the College of Education and Human Sciences.

Early field placement in public and private schools is a nationally-recognized hallmark of the teacher education program in the Collegeof Education and Human Sciences. While internships are a valuableenhancement to many students’ education, in the College of Educationand Human Sciences practicum experiences and student teaching area critical and essential part of the teacher education curriculum andmust be successfully completed. A student’s inability to complete thesefield experiences, for any reason, may adversely impact the candidate’sability to gain admission into the College or maintain enrollment in ateacher preparation program. Students unlikely or unable to completethe field experience may be counseled to seek other opportunities wheresuccess is more attainable. (See “Felony and Misdemeanor Conviction”and “Criminal History Background Check Requirement” under the OTHERheading for additional information with respect to behaviors impactingfield experience participation.)

AdmissionAll education programs have a competitive admission process. At somepoint in time, after meeting specific education requirements, all studentsmust formally apply to their particular education program.

listing of the required exams can be found at http://www.ets.org/praxis/ne/requirements (http://www.ets.org/praxis/ne/requirements/). Examregistration is available at http://www.ets.org (http://www.ets.org/).

OTHERStudent Teaching Placement

The Office of Field Experiences and Certification is responsible forthe placement of student teachers. Several factors are considered inassigning student teachers to a specific district and school, includingthe availability of a high-quality cooperating teacher and supervisor whomeets the requirements of the Nebraska Department of Education andthe University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Requests to student teach out-of-state are not guaranteed and require additional processes and extendedtimelines. Students wishing to request an out-of-state placement mustmeet with the Director of Field Experiences as early as possible todetermine eligibility.

Removal from Field and Clinical Placements

Students participating in practicum or student teaching placements maybe removed from their assigned schools if their conduct is unprofessionaland/or threatens the well-being or learning of the students. Guidelines forprofessional behaviors required of all student teachers can be found inThe Student Teaching Handbook located on the CEHS website. Removalfrom a placement may be requested by the cooperating teacher, thebuilding principal, or the university supervisor. The Director of FieldExperiences will gather information and document efforts to correct thesituation prior to making a decision on continuation.

Any student removed from a practicum or student teaching assignmentmay appeal that decision by submitting a written request to the CEHSAssociate Dean for Academic Affairs within 30 days of the removal. Theassociate dean will convene an appeals committee, request pertinentinformation from the student and the Director of Field Experiences, andnotify the student several days in advance of the scheduled appealmeeting. Students are advised of their right to seek legal advice. TheCommittee’s decision will be forwarded in writing to the student, to theDirector of Field Experiences, and to the Dean of the College.

Application for a Nebraska Teaching Certificate

To actively engage in the teaching profession, a candidate must fulfillboth the CEHS degree requirements and the professional certificationrequirements of the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE). Studentsmay apply for a Nebraska teaching certificate at www.education.ne.gov/tcert/ (http://www.education.ne.gov/tcert/). As part of the application,students are required to send their transcripts to NDE and may do sothrough MyRED.

Graduation Without Certification

In rare cases, permission may be granted for a student to graduatewithout a recommendation for teacher certification (GWC). Any studentwho pursues this option must have senior class standing and be withintwo semesters of student teaching. In addition, the student:

• Must be unable to qualify for student teaching based on grades orother performance-based issues.

• Be removed from student teaching by the Office of Field Experiencesand Certification.

• Be unable to complete all of the professional requirements in ateacher education program because of illness or another unusualsituation.

If a student is unable to meet all of the requirements as described inthe “Admission to Student Teaching” section, such as minimum coursegrade requirements for courses in the professional education sequenceor in the content area, but still earns passing grades in those courseswhile maintaining the grade point average minimums, then the studentmay be eligible to GWC. A student should contact his or her advisor todetermine eligibility and start the process, which includes the submissionof a formal request to the College’s Certification Officer to be allowed tograduate without completing all certification requirements. If permissionis granted, the student is expected to complete all remaining contentarea and professional education requirements except student teaching.The requirements include passing grades in all remaining courses whilemaintaining the minimum grade point averages as specified in the“Admission to Student Teaching” section. The student must still meet theACE 10 general education requirement and a plan will be part of the GWCprocess.

Any student who graduates without a recommendation for certificationwill not be recommended for teacher certification in any state. Inaddition, the student will not be eligible for graduation with honors.If, at some future time, the student wishes to complete certificationrequirements, (s)he must first appeal for readmission to a teachereducation program. At least one semester must pass after graduationbefore the appeal can be made unless the GWC plan incorporates specifictimelines for re-entry. Students with extenuating circumstances (studentathletes, health events, etc.) who receive approval from the CertificationOffice during the GWC application process will not be required to wait onesemester before applying for readmission. If the appeal is granted, thestudent will be eligible to complete all requirements in effect at the timeof re-entry and must earn passing grades in all methods courses.

Education Employment ServicesThe Career Services Center, 230 Nebraska Union, offers a professionalplacement service to students and alumni who are seeking employmentin education and related fields. In addition to providing on-campusinterviews with select schools throughout the year, this office sponsorsan annual Education Recruitment Day in the spring, which offers studentsan opportunity to interview with hiring officials from many schools.

Criminal History Background Check Requirement

The College of Education and Human Sciences (CEHS) has theresponsibility to ensure that all students who are in placements wherethey interact with children of all ages, served by schools or other public orprivate agencies, meet a high level of personal, professional, and ethicalbehavior. These students must complete an official criminal historybackground check through the CEHS vendor prior to participating in afield experience or internship. Students are responsible for the cost ofany required criminal history background checks. A background check isrequired prior to the first practicum placement or as part of a program’sapplication program. A second background check is required before astudent teaching or culminating internship placement.

Students with felony or misdemeanor charges or convictions, asreported on the background check, may be contacted by the College.Depending upon the frequency and severity of the charges and/orconvictions, students may be required to meet with the Director of FieldExperiences. If any new charges or convictions are acquired after abackground check has been completed, students are required to report

http://www.ets.org/praxis/ne/requirements/



http://www.ets.org/

http://www.ets.org/

http://www.education.ne.gov/tcert/




those to the Director of Field Experiences immediately after the eventoccurs. Failure to disclose any new information concerning one’s criminalhistory can lead to removal from the program. Continued participationin school or community field experiences in the College will be based onthe type and number of convictions, the recency of those occurrences,and whether they violate the requirements of the Nebraska Departmentof Education and/or the Nebraska Department of Health and HumanServices. If the convictions are deemed to be serious in nature, a studentmay be prohibited from participating in a field experience in a pre-school,school, or public agency setting. The student may then be referred to thedepartment chair for further disciplinary action.

Professional and Ethical Behavior: Avoiding RiskyBehaviors

Students planning to enter professions in education or the humansciences must be able to demonstrate that they are individuals ofstrong moral character who can make mature decisions for themselvesand others. Therefore, the College of Education and Human Sciencesrequires that its students show a high degree of moral character andthe ability to act in a responsible manner. Students must consider howthe College, the profession, an employer, or the community perceives orevaluates the impact of any questionable behavior. Students’ successin their profession is impaired by taking risks that are unacceptable forchildren, demonstrating a lack of professionalism and good judgment,and showing disregard for one’s personal reputation or the integrity of theCollege.

The College of Education and Human Sciences reserves the right toevaluate student fitness for the profession and deny entry to or dismissa student from any program if, through the reasonable exercise of thejudgment of its Certification Officer or the Director of Field Experiences,the College determines that the student’s behavior represents a lack ofintegrity, questionable moral/ethical character, or represents a risk toyoung persons. Such behaviors shall be adequate foundation to deny thestudent’s participation in any practicum or field experience to protect theinterests and safety of children. The consequences of unprofessional,unethical, or risky behavior will depend upon the unique circumstancesinvolved.

Appeal to the Dean

Should a student object to the determination made by the CertificationOfficer or the Director of Field Experiences with respect to a criminalbehavior or unprofessional behavior, the student may appeal to the Deanof the College, in writing, within ten days of the determination, requestingthe Dean of the College to investigate and review the determination. Thestudent’s written appeal shall clearly explain the basis for the appeal.The Dean will review the student’s basis for appeal and is authorized butnot required to look into related concerns, whether or not such concernsare contained in the student’s written appeal. The Dean shall render adecision on the appeal as soon as reasonably possible, but in no caselonger than 20 days following the initiation of the appeal. Once the Deanhas completed the review and investigation, he or she shall deliver to thestudent and the Certification Officer or the Director of Field Experiences awritten decision, which shall be final and not subject to further appeal orreview with the University of Nebraska.
