The hallmark of an excellent teacher preparation program is the number of clinical experience hours served in classrooms. MDC SOE’s courses require many clinical experience hours which are progressive throughout the program.
Steps to getting your teaching certificate
All pre-service teachers who are completing MDC SOE clinical experience in Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) or Early Childhood Educational (ECE) centers are required to be fingerprinted and background checked and must pass a Level 2 clearance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
