`<\/span><\/span>We have made a game about becoming a certified teacher in Pennsylvania, specifically at West Chester University of PA. The game consists of the various hoops that preservice teachers must jump through each year in order to graduate on time in four years with a teaching license and degree. Some of these hoops include: PAPA\/CORE testing, Community Service Experience, Formal Admission to Teacher Education (FATE), English BSED Writing Portfolio, and the Praxis exam. The game is played in chronological order based on the same path we have to follow from freshman to senior year. For example, the PAPA\/CORE testing and CSE must be completed within the first year and a half of your program, and the Praxis is completed at the end of all coursework. Every milestone must be completed with either a quantified value (i.e., a score such as on a PAPA exam) or a PASS\/FAIL (i.e., English BSED Writing Portfolio). The game will be a role playing game in which the player has to complete each step in order to move onto the next. There are required actions the player must complete in order to finish each step. If the player fails to complete their actions, they are forced to restart from the beginning. The beginning being acceptance into West Chester University and the end being Graduation. The point of our game is to illustrate the difficulty and complexity of the student certification process. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
