May 25th, 2025

Course 6: Standards & Curriculum (P-3, K-6, 7-12) is the first course in the ASPIRE to Teach Two-Year Program, Semester 1 in the College of Education.

The ASPIRE to Teach at Rowan University CE Educator Preparation Program is designed for teacher candidates who hold a New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) Certificate of Eligibility (CE). It offers guidance and experience to help candidates develop effective teaching skills while working toward their standard teaching certification(s) in New Jersey.

ELIGIBILITY:

Only candidates who have: 1) earned a CE, 2) successfully completed the 50-Hour Pre-Professional Component, and 3) are currently employed as a full-time teacher of record are eligible to enroll.

The ASPIRE to Teach experience:

ASPIRE to Teach offers an online program experience with an assigned ASPIRE Lead Instructor (ALI) who is a veteran educator and provides guidance, direction, and feedback in each course. During Fall and Spring terms, ASPIRE candidates also participate in with Professional Learning Community (PLC) Saturday Sessions (8:30am-1:30pm) that occur twice each term (2 PLCs in Fall, 2 PLCs in Spring). During the Summer terms, there are no PLC Saturday Sessions (alternate assignments replace the PLC content).

ASPIRE to Teach focuses on Universal Design for Learning, High-Leverage Practices, and Relationship-Driven Instruction. ASPIRE Lead Instructors (ALIs) support candidates in meeting the New Jersey Professional Standards for Teachers through online learning experiences, video coaching, PLC meetings, and personalized support.

NOTE: EACH applicant must complete the Google form as part of their official entrance into the ASPIRE to Teach program. ASPIRE to Teach is required to collect student identification information that corresponds with the applicant’s NJDOE professional account (via NJEdCert). This information must be completed for initial new course registration by each applicant, and is only required once during the ASPIRE program. - https://forms.gle/97QREK5HRzfVxBWg9
