at the Richard Stockton College of NJ.
Participants are welcome to bring their transcripts in for review by Nancy Fiedler, the college’s assistant director of teacher education. A complete evaluation of coursework as well as necessary assessments, including the SAT, ACT and Praxis exams, will be provided. Advice on how to increase your GPA will also be offered.
“All that information is given that evening, as far as what one would need to do to begin the program and what they need to do to get certified,” said Fiedler. “It’s going to be very informal, so it’s going to be a ‘sit-down share your thoughts and questions’ (kind of event). It’s an informational workshop,” she added.
Current teachers looking to further their education are welcome to join the event between 3 and 3:30 p.m. Information regarding the school’s pertinent graduate study programs, including a master of arts in education, educational leadership or instructional technology, will be discussed. Faculty members will be available to answer questions. Contact information for further networking will be provided, as well.
To register for the free program, call 609-652-4688. Additional information can be found online at http://intraweb.stockton.edu/eyos/page.cfm?siteID=262&pageID=1.
