PACE Elementary Education (Coeur d'Alene)
Based in Coeur d'Alene, the PACE Program provides opportunity for qualified candidates to achieve elementary teacher certification and endorsement. Whether getting a jump-start on college credits or changing careers, this pathway might be right for you if you are unable to attend a traditional, teacher-education program.
Individuals considering the Elementary Education PACE program should begin by submitting a Request for Transcript Evaluation Form, and copies of all transcripts from higher education institutions, to the CDA PACE coordinator.
Transcripts will be evaluated to create an individualized learning plan for the applicant which will then be reviewed with the applicant during an advising appointment. The applicant will also receive directions for applying to the college and first steps toward class registration.
In order to enter the first summer program, the qualified applicant will need to have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and have taken the Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects Exam (7001). All Praxis exams must be passed prior to the candidate entering the second summer program.
