As part of the Educator Preparation Program (EPP) application process, students are asked to complete a short essay to demonstrate their motivation for teaching, writing ability, and readiness to enter the profession. Applicants will select one of three prompts, submit a 300-word response, and be evaluated using a standardized rubric that measures content, organization, professional tone, grammar, and clarity. This ensures a fair and consistent review while allowing each candidate to share their personal inspiration and commitment to becoming an effective educator.
