Serves as an interview process where the SOE evaluates teacher candidate skills and dispositions: critical thinking, human interaction, reading, writing, and speaking. Successful completion of the PSL precedes and supports advancement to other EDU courses and an invitation to apply to the SOE. Students who unsuccessfully complete the PSL may be provided the opportunity to develop a professional improvement plan with individual mentoring to facilitate skill remediation. Successful completion allows advancement to the teacher preparation program. An additional PSL may be required to demonstrate proficiency in an area previously deemed unsatisfactory.
