Licensing Disclosure<\/strong>
BU Wheelock Educator Preparation Programs Licensing Disclosure<\/a> provides information about BU Wheelock state-approved programs and how the educational requirements compare with those in other states. Education students in licensure programs should review this resource and contact edlic@bu.edu<\/a> with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBackground Checks<\/strong>
Students who are admitted into BU Wheelock routinely participate in field experiences as a part of their respective program curriculum and requirements. Most field sites require criminal background checks to determine students\u2019 eligibility for participation. History of a criminal background may disqualify students from participating in these required experiences, which in turn may impede the successful completion of one\u2019s degree program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This program is for licensed teachers seeking additional expertise in reading and writing instruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8572,"featured_media":69256,"parent":68147,"menu_order":1,"template":"","meta":{"_editor_template":""},"bu_progs_page-type":[6501],"bu_progs_degree-option":[6533],"bu_progs_education-level":[6603],"bu_progs_area-of-study":[6682],"bu_progs_area-of-interest":[6642],"bu_progs_department-affiliation":[6640],"bu_progs_format":[6607],"bu_progs_availability":[6609,6695,6610],"bu_progs_location":[6611],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-program-page\/68149"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-program-page"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/bu-program-page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8572"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-program-page\/68149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71182,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-program-page\/68149\/revisions\/71182"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-program-page\/68147"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_page-type?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_degree-option","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_degree-option?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_education-level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_education-level?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_area-of-study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_area-of-study?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_area-of-interest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_area-of-interest?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_department-affiliation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_department-affiliation?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_format?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_availability","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_availability?post=68149"},{"taxonomy":"bu_progs_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu_progs_location?post=68149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
