Grammar for JournalistsEducation: CACP Level 3 RequirementsBefore attempting a Level 3 paper in Education, students must have certified at least oneCACP: Level 2 paper. Beginning on January 1, 2010, any teacher candidate applying forformal admission to the Teacher Education Program must have completed all Level 1 andLevel 2 CACP requirements. In an effort to assist in completing this requirement, therewill be a required level 2 paper in EDU 230, Human Development and Learning, whichall teacher candidates must complete with a C or better before applying for admission tothe Teacher Education Program.Beginning with the January 2010 internship, all Level 3 CACP papers must be completedbefore the beginning of the internship semester. A student intern will not be allowed tobegin the internship experience until all CACP papers are approved. Upper level educationclasses, as well as courses in the major, will provide opportunities for teacher candidatesto write Level 3 CACP papers.Most papers written in upper-level Education courses can be submitted forLevel 3 certification, if (1) the paper makes appropriate use of advanced skills instudying and examining education materials, and (2) the student has consultedwith the professor before submitting the assignment, and (3) the paper:(a) Is at least five(5) double-spaced typed pages;(b) Is submitted in a 300- or 400-level Education course;(c) Is the original work of the student submitting the paper;(d) Is submitted in Modern Language Association (MLA) format;(e) Meets all criteria for CACP Levels 1 and 2.Usually students must complete three (3) papers for Level 3. However, studentsinvolved in extensive research (for example, extended, highly specialized writing, such asa Senior Essay) may, with the instructor and department chair’s permission, request thatan exceptional paper be counted as the equivalent of more than one Level 3 paper.(Example: a student completing a research paper of 10 or more pages in a 300-levelcourse could request that the paper be counted as two Level 3 papers.) should prompt asearch for the original Phi Delta Kappan material: do not cite the Digest as a source.18
