Program Synopsis: Post Baccalaureate Elementary Education Program (EEP) Certificate, Traditional Emphasis (TE)

Course Objective:
The Post Baccalaureate Certificate is appropriate for students who have a bachelor’s degree

Institutional Recommendation upon successful program completion. After receiving Institutional Recommendation,
students must apply for certification with the Arizona Department of Education.
Students in the Teacher in Residence (TIR) program must provide proof of district employment as a contracted
teacher, provide a current IVP fingerprint card and appropriate NES passing score documents for elementary
education and the subject knowledge exam.
If teaching in an English Language Development (ELD) classroom, EPP students must complete and show proof of an
ADE approved Structured English Immersion (SEI) workshop or course. For students needing to provide proof of
completion of an SEI course to the employer, CAC offers EDU240 Structured English Immersion during the first
semester of EPP coursework. CAC’s EDU240 Structured English Immersion course is on the ADE list of approved SEI
coursework for teacher certification endorsement.
