As we discussed at Jump Start, P/J teacher candidates will have the opportunity to take the math diagnostic test as part of Math Camp. This diagnostic test will help teacher candidates gauge their grasp of the current elementary math curriculum. We recommend that candidates who achieve less than a B- (70%) take the "Math for Teachers" elective. Just a reminder that Shirley Smith is your Academic Advisor, and you can speak with Shirley regarding registration for this elective if you have any concerns. At this point in time a number of you have already indicated a strong interest in this elective.
