Things I Need To Know

I read about three important things that every UMF Secondary Education student should know.

• Secondary English students not only need to take the Praxis test for more than one teacher licensure opportunity, but the passing score on the English, Language, Literature, and Composition test: Content Knowledge is 160.
• Before reading this article, I was aware of the general demands of a practicum schedule, and have heard from here say that it is an incredibly difficult semester. After reading this small article and reviewing the practicum calendar, I can better visual how incredibly time consuming and difficult practicum most likely is. Also, I had understood the importance of receiving credit-worthy grades in my courses, but had let it slip my mind how important it is to stay on top of all of my classes and control my GPA and course grades in order to reach my intended goals.
• This website was actually incredibly familiar to me because I actually went through the transfer process from an English major to a Secondary English major. It is helpful to have these points mapped out in this way for students considering a transfer. Checklists can also be very effective in this process.
