Academic Advising Survey
All students in the School of Education are asked to complete a short survey on their academic advising experiences with the SOE faculty during the 2011-2012 academic year. This includes all early childhood, elementary, and secondary education students, as well as those in the Curriculum and Instruction masters program. The link to the survey is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SOE_Advising. Students are asked to respond to the survey by May 31, 2012, so that the results can be used by the faculty in improving procedures and practices over the summer.
New Education Students to Focus on High-need Fields

Note: You should consider this source of aid as a grant that has a high potential of turning into a LOAN. If you are not already committed to teaching a high-need subject in a school serving low-income students, you should not consider this as a possible source of aid. It is estimated that only 20 percent of students who participate in the TEACH Grant Program will be able to use the funds as grants, while many students will see their funds converted to loans with accumulated interest. A student who receives $16,000 in TEACH Grants who fails to fulfill the terms of the Agreement to Serve and Promise to Pay (ATS) will incur substantial indebtedness. On a 10-year term, the monthly payments would be $315.60 for a cumulative payment of $37,871. (source)
