TE 100/TE 101 Application Instructions (335KB).
It cannot be stressed enough how important proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are in this, and any, application. This application will be reviewed by administrators and teachers alike. All spaces need to be completed including phone number and local address. Your experience with youth, teaching characteristics and hobbies need to be written in narrative form, not lists. The Academic Record should be a listing of the courses you have taken with credits. Do NOT copy and paste your course listing from Cardinal Direct. Type a listing of the courses you have taken with course titles, not numbers (e.g., instead of ENGL 111, list Composition I).
TE100/101 students are placed by the Office of Clinical Experiences based on their major and/or minor selections on the application. The student’s local addresses are taken into consideration; however, the majority of placements are made near the SVSU campus due to availability.
