Introduction

Educator Preparation Program Outcomes This course is part of your preparation for licensure in a major or minor that is part of the BYU Educator Preparation Program (EPP).  This course will help you fulfill the EPP Outcomes required for accreditation.  Advisors in Education Student Services (350 MCKB / 801-422-3426) can answer questions you have about the licensure requirements (http://education.byu.edu/ess/licensing.html) for your teaching major or minor. As students progress through the Technology and Engineering teacher education program, they should gain knowledge, dispositions and skills that will enable them to become effective teachers. The standards that encompass the knowledge, dispositions and skills that teachers should have are known as the UETS standards and can be found on the TEE Outcomes webpage. The following UETS standards will be addressed in this class (TEE 276).
