8. GPA is Very Important!
There are two grade checkpoints in the Elementary Education program that you should start working towards now.
Students need a 2.75 cumulative GPA for classes in the PTEP portion (IV on the ELED checklist) of the degree and
a 3.0 cumulative GPA for your last two semesters which include The Math and Science Practicum and Student Teaching
The more credits you accumulate, the harder it is to raise your GPA with a semester of classes
The most practical, efficient strategy is to earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA early in your college career and maintain it throughout your studies
