HERITAGE UNIVERSITY 105

Heritage105 is a residency-based teacher preparation program of Heritage University and its partner, Educational Service District 105. Undergraduate and graduate candidates accepted into HU105 acquire and become proficient in all competencies identified by the State of Washington as important for becoming strong elementary teachers (K-8). The program also includes the endorsement area of teaching English language learners.

Candidates accepted into HU105 are assigned to a four-member teaching-learning team (TLT), each consisting of three candidates and a core teacher. Candidates are assigned to a TLT at a specific grade level within a specific school. Each TLT is responsible for the growth of K-8 students in its care. Candidates on the TLT team follow their K-8 students from one grade to the next at the end of each school year.

Candidates of HU105 follow the school year calendar of the school in which they are placed. On Wednesdays during the fall and spring semesters, candidates attend case-based seminars focused on acquiring specific knowledge related to assessment; content in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts; and performance monitoring strategies. There are no additional evening or summer courses required of HU105 students.

HU105 is available at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The undergraduate program is a four-semester schedule (fall/spring/fall/spring), and the graduate program is a three-semester schedule (fall/spring/fall OR spring/fall/spring).

Candidates of HU105 must meet all the requirements for the College of Education and Psychology’s Teacher Preparation Programs and all the requirements of the State of Washington for licensure. Undergraduates must be at junior standing if current HU students or must have an AA/DTA if transferring. The tables below show the courses for which undergraduates students will register. All courses are competency-based. The director of professional experiences, in tandem with the candidate and core teacher, will regularly assess competencies and enter a final grade at the end of each semester.
