UC Davis Teacher Education Program Teach Out Plan

As required by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the UC Davis School of Education’s Teacher Education Program acknowledges and accepts that once a student is accepted and enrolls in the Teacher Education Program, we are required to offer the program until the candidate completes it. 

In the event that the UC Davis Teacher Education Program should close, the program would make every attempt to coordinate the timing of the closure with the end of the academic year, thus minimizing the number of students potentially impacted by such a closure. Additionally, the program would reach out to other educator preparation programs in our geographic area (CSU Sacramento, CSU Sonoma, UC Berkeley) to determine what support they might be able to offer our students.

For any student that has not yet completed the program by the time of closure, we would take the following steps:

• Notify each impacted student in writing of the closure, offering specific details about how we will support them through completion of their requirements.
• Assign a faculty or staff member to advise each student as to his/her options, creating an individualized transition plan and committing as a program to support them through completion.
• Monitor impacted students through completion of their program requirements.
• All enrolled students, without regard to whether they complete the program or not, always have ongoing access to their student records through the University of California.
