2013 Infant-Toddler Teacher Preparation Course

Phase I Application and Interview

Submit a complete application. Upon review, the Academic Director will contact the applicant for an interview appointment. Application Deadline Spring Cohort: March 1, 2013 Summer Cohort: May 1, 2013 Note: a $200 late enrollment fee will apply to all applications processed after the published deadline.
Phase II Orientation and Independent Study

Orientation meetings may be scheduled as soon as a student has completed their interview. Since orientation introduces the student to a sequence of independent study assignments designed to lay a foundation for academics, we recommend scheduling your orientation early enough to allow time for the completion of these assignments before the start of Phase III Beginning Academics. Orientation must take place prior to attendance of beginning academics.
