Seminar Specific Essay
The application requires a descriptive essay (250-500 words) addressing the seminar topic, for each seminar you apply to. (Note: the application system will accept only a word count of 250-500; a smaller or larger number generates an error message.)
This essay should include:
(A) How the seminar to which you are applying will increase your preparation for courses or curricular areas you are assigned to teach; and (B) How the curriculum unit you plan to write will assist you in teaching the seminar subject in your own classroom.
