• At least one recommender should be able to speak to your content knowledge and expertise (math, science, social studies, English, world languages). Often this is a former or current professor.
• If you are interested in multiple content areas, it is not required to have a recommendation for each content area.

This individual is encouraged to speak to your ability to do graduate-level coursework.
• At least one recommender should be able to speak to your potential or ability to work with youth.

Please be aware that this part of the application can take the longest to assemble since you are dependent upon others.
