Due to COVID-19, UC Santa Barbara’s Teacher Education Program (TEP) will host all virtual information meetings during the spring 2020 quarter. The TEP Information Meetings provide information regarding the structure of the credential program with the Master’s Degree in Education (M.Ed.), and reviews the university, program, and state requirements for admission and are highly recommended for all prospective students.
“Although a virtual meeting is clearly not as powerful as the opportunity to meet people in person, the information provided in these sessions—and the opportunity to ask questions as they occur to participants—still makes these meetings invaluable,” says Andrew Fedders, TEP’s Interim Director. “We hope we see as many possible future credential candidates attend as we have in past years, especially in this time when what education means and how it can be best done is seriously challenged.”
These meetings will be hosted live via Zoom and will be recorded for applicants who may not be able to attend at these times. Once TEP completes its first virtual meeting, it will post the recording to its Gevirtz School webpage. The PowerPoint will also available to view for reference. Reservations are not required for the information meetings, and participants will not need a Zoom account to join.
The meetings are:
