About Free Time
This schedule is only a sample; some “open” times might not be open during your program. For example, on the third weekend, you’ll also need substantial time to prepare for your final student teaching.
There is free time on some evenings and Sundays, but you’ll have reading assignments on most nights and written assignments on the first three weekends.
So don’t be deceived by all the blank spaces on the sample schedule. You’ll be busy!
The program begins with an orientation at 7:30 pm Sunday, the first date of the course.
