Sequence of Methods Courses

Once a candidate enters the program with a cohort (in the Educational Psychology Block), it is expected that the candidate will complete all the professional education blocks with that cohort. If for some reason the candidate must drop out of a cohort, he or she may return with a subsequent cohort as space permits. Candidates must request permission in writing of the Coordinator of Elementary Education to leave his/her cohort and enter a new cohort.
