Orientation seminars for college freshmen facilitate the transition of students from high school to college. Could similar seminars work as well for those who want to be educators? Creating a Teacher Orientation Seminar for education candidates standardizes the transfer of information and confirms commitment for third-year undergraduates and fifth-year nontraditional students seeking admission to a Teacher Education Program. In seminar format, education candidates profit from information about College of Education requirements and expectations as well as discussion time for processing field observation experiences with faculty facilitators. A Teacher Orientation Seminar may benefit students as well as faculty who partner in their commitment to quality pre-service teacher preparation.
