Below is list of activities under each of the WAS 2-7, (Standard 1 is integrated into the other standards). You and your local mentor
are to select relevant activities under each standard that align to the WCG. You will be expected to complete an activity for each of
the WCG by the end of your practicum course which you will register for during your last semester for the principal license (unless
an exception is granted by the program Director).
You need to complete some activities at the elementary and high school or the middle school and either the high school or
elementary level. The point is that, it is important to have experiences at, at least two levels because your license will be a PK-12
license.

document along with the agreement form, the application and mentor resume to the Director at Viterbo University, these documents
should be included in our electronic portfolio. Your electronic portfolio needs to be shared with your Viterbo advisor.
You should start these activities during the second semester of the program to ensure they are completed by the end of the
program.
