These assessments are designed to give you the opportunity to develop, refine, and demonstrate your teaching knowledge, skills, and abilities during your teacher preparation program.  

All course work for both EDUC 550 and EDUC 556 requirements are completed online using Blackboard. Please contact James Taylor in order to be added to the EDUC 550 or EDUC 556 Blackboard site once you have registered for either of these courses.
