· The educational program at UMF is very intense but very worth it. There are tests that you need to pass in order to get through the program, such as the Praxis. You have to prove you are capable in 3 areas (reading, writing, and math). This test determines whether or not you move on to 200 courses which are sophomore classes. You also have to have a least a 2.5 g.p.a and have passed all your educational and subject classes with at least a C. There are also a lot of different kinds of aids here at UMF. There is help with financial and also help with different subject areas such as math and writing centers.
· In order for you to transfer in to the secondary educational program at UMF you need some very important requirements. First you must have a 2.5 g.p.a or better, you also need proof that you have passed Praxis 1; and finally you need to have gotten a C or better in English Composition. You also need to write an essay on your experiences with kids and why you want to become a middle/secondary educator.
· After you get accepted into the program you have to take Practicum. Practicum is a very intense 12 credit course. This will only be accompanied by one other class, or no other classes. You must pass Practicum to graduate but you need requirements just to be eligible to take it. You must have 2.0 or higher, passed English 100 with a C, have completed SED and EDU 101, and of course be enrolled in middle/secondary education program.
· In order to take EDU221 and any classes that follow, your laptop must have certain requirements. The easiest way to know for sure that you have all of the necessary requirements is to buy a computer from the UMF Excel program. This is mandatory at UMF because they are getting you ready for teaching in Maine. Principles and people with power in the school systems will be expecting you to have a good sense of technology, and will be able to teach with it.
