UPDATE 4/9/2024
The CBC committee along with the council and support of EWU’s legal department has been diligent about developing a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable policy.
Until a new policy can be drafted and approved, the CBC committee will not be considering exceptions for the indefinite future. All students will be required to pass necessary content examinations before beginning student teaching according to our current SOE policies.
We will, however, continue to meet to determine how to identify students that may need support earlier in the process, connect them with appropriate advising personnel, and ensure they are applying for any necessary accommodations through Pearson.
We appreciate your support as we navigate this difficult process, and we will provide updates as they develop.
