Student Resources
College of Education students will find information concerning testing, licensure programs, portfolio development, and the milestone review process below. Because students must complete four milestones at the undergraduate level and three milestones at the graduate level, it is important that in addition to reviewing the information found on these pages, students meet often with their advisors (undergraduate) or committee chairs (graduate).
Students in education courses at Austin Peay State University are expected to demonstrate the following positive professional dispositions. Failure to do so may result in dismissal from the Teacher Education program. These dispositions will be evaluated by university professors and classroom teachers and are aligned with InTASC and CAEP standards.
