Other Requirements

1. Public School Placement

While BATTI students’ major experience is in the school that hires them, they get 60-75 hours of experience during the first year and 90 hours during the summer in the public schools. BATTI students become regular volunteers, or Observer/Participants, serving one half day per week. In addition, they are required to arrange to spend four full days in their public school classroom within the school year. They will work with an experienced mentor teacher in classrooms that have at least 1/3 English learners.

2. Additional Required Coursework and Certification

In order to receive your credential, you must fulfill several other requirements, including:*

* US Constitution Class (may be waived if you have taken approved college course)
* CPR certification
* Health Class
