The Center for Educator Preparation (CEP) is responsible for licensure of P-12 teachers in 17 content areas, and of K-12 school principals.

Part of the School of Education, the educator preparation program at CSU is nationally accredited by the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP) and authorized by the Colorado Department of Higher Education and the Colorado Department of Education. CEP consists of clinical practitioners, scholars, scholar-practitioners, and advocates collaboratively preparing educators and school leaders through a Professional Development School model.

Section 207 of Title II of the Higher Education Act mandates that the Department of Education collect data on state requirements for teacher certification and licensure, as well as data on the performance of teacher preparation programs. The Title II Institutional Report for CSU is available through the School of Education website.

Admission to Teacher Licensure

Students who wish to pursue an endorsement program should apply for admission to the CEP teacher preparation program. Students have three different program options - undergraduate, post-bachelor, and Master of Education. Application and admission requirements differ based on which program a student is interested in pursuing. (Note: Admission requirements are subject to change based on program and state licensing requirements and laws.)

For detailed information about application and admission requirements and deadline dates, please contact the Center for Educator Preparation Advising Office. We welcome in-person visits, phone calls or email. 

Student Teaching

Teacher licensure candidates apply for student teaching placement one semester before student teaching. Candidates must pass the state licensing exam (Praxis) in their respective teaching content area by mid-April or mid-October before beginning their student teaching experience. Additionally, candidates must demonstrate acceptable professional dispositions and academic fitness. Student teaching must be completed at an approved school. Placement is contingent upon acceptance of the student by a school system. All assignments are made by CSU. This experience is full-time for a specified time period.

Requirements for Licensure

Colorado licensure requires completion of an approved teacher preparation program and the recommendation of the institution at which the program was completed. The CEP Co-Directors and Student Teaching Coordinator serve as the licensure officers for CSU. Additional requirements of the Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Department of Higher Education include the successful completion of the state licensing exam. Successful completion of the approved teacher preparation program at CSU does not guarantee successful completion of the state licensing exam.

Students who successfully complete an approved teacher preparation program will be prepared to pursue licensure in Colorado. Licensure requirements in other states and U.S. territories may differ. Students are encouraged to work with the department and the professional licensure board in the state in which they intend to pursue licensing to ensure all requirements are satisfactorily met. CEP does not assume responsibility for the successful completion of the state licensing exam.

CSU’s approved teacher preparation program requirements include completion of a baccalaureate degree, completion of the content area and professional education course work, and fulfillment of the Colorado Performance-Based Standards for teachers at the proficient or advanced proficient level. Additionally, all grades earned in professional education and content courses must be a C or better for licensing. The minimum scholastic average acceptable for completion of the teacher preparation program and recommendation for licensing is 2.750, computed for all course work.

CSU reserves the right to not recommend a student for licensure on the basis of unacceptable professional dispositions and academic fitness/performance.

Professional Education Coursework for Licensure

The professional education requirements listed below apply to all teaching endorsement areas except early childhood education where EDUC 400, EDUC 425, and EDUC 426, are required in place of EDUC 350, EDUC 386, EDUC 450, and EDUC 486E. Additional courses may be required by specific endorsement areas. For clarification, refer to individual coursework check sheets which can be obtained in the Education Building, room 111, and on the CEP website.

Candidates in all endorsement areas must complete appropriate methods courses the semester prior to enrolling in student teaching. (EDUC/EDCT 4XX - level courses)

Career and Technical Education

Individuals desiring to teach in or administer career and technical programs in the state of Colorado must qualify for a credential in addition to a teaching license. Those who plan to qualify as career and technical education teachers or directors must meet the requirements for a CTE credential established by the Community Colleges of Colorado and the Colorado Department of Education.
