Dear Teacher Prep Interns: The College of Education has been in contact with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) which certifies and licenses teachers in Michigan. The faculty and staff are working to ensure interns completing the teacher preparation program this semester will not have problems being certified to teach due to the closure of K-12 schools. MSU’s teacher preparation program standards are much higher than what is required for certification and MDE is being flexible about how to demonstrate meeting the outcomes. For more information from MDE visit https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/Apprentice_Internship_Guidance_684239_7.pdf. If you have questions regarding MSU’s internship requirements you can contact Kristy Dumont, Director of Student Affairs at kdumont@msu.edu. |

We know that not all of you are still looking for a job, but for those of you who are, face-to-face interactions with possible employers can be key to landing a job. Career Fairs can be a great way to make this connection.
How to Ace the Certification Process
Despite hosting a certification meeting for all interns each spring and providing as-clear-as-possible guidelines to follow, there are still some common mistakes interns make when turning in their teacher certification paperwork.
