which prepare candidates to be professional educators who are licensed to teach.
The committee members are invited by the Dean of Education in collaboration with other

The Teacher Education Council comprises representatives from all licensure areas.
This body approves applicants for admission to teacher education, admission to the
Professional Semester (Internship), assists with Portfolio Interviews and is an integral
