Teacher Guarantee
Statement of Assurance: MSU Denver guarantees that its teacher education graduates have successfully completed a Teacher Education program approved by the Colorado State Board of Education, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The Teacher Education curriculum of the Departments of Teacher Education at Metropolitan State University of Denver assures that each teacher candidate has demonstrated thorough understanding of, and the ability to apply, the teaching strategies, the classroom management/school discipline methods and the measurement and evaluation tools necessary for success as a first-year licensed teacher.
In the event that the employing district of a teacher certified for licensure by MSU Denver, and appropriately placed within certification endorsement areas, finds that the teacher has displayed a lack of knowledge or competency in any of these pedagogical skills during the first year of teaching, the teacher may return to MSU Denver for up to one academic year after the problem is noted by the district, and audit the course(s) that correspond to the deficiency. These classes will be provided at no cost to the school district or to the student.
