What classes are you taking to replace the student teaching? Usually, Senior II is a 10 credit class needed for graduation. I am thinking that the reason that Lateral Entry is not counted is that you have a provisional license until the Lateral Entry requirements are cleared. The RALC has a lot of information on lateral entry. I think the bigger pr...See More
