Student Learning and Licensure by Watermark™
The Texas Woman’s University Educator Preparation Program (EPP) utilizes Student Learning and Licensure (SL&L), a robust assessment and student management platform by Watermark. Students seeking certification to teach or work in a professional non-teaching position at a Texas public school will use SL&L for:
- Application for admission into the EPP for Initial Teacher or Professional (non-teaching) certification programs
- Documenting Field-Based Experience hours for course requirements (i.e. time logs)
- Course-embedded professional disposition assessments
- Application for Clinical Teaching, Residency, or Internship (Initial Teacher program)
- Assessment in final course of Clinical Teaching, Residency, or Internship (Initial Teacher program) or Professional Practicum (Professional non-teaching graduate program)
SL&L will help ensure continuous quality of the TWU EPP while maintaining state and national accreditation.
* The TExES Success Plans are no longer submitted through SL&L. Please refer to the TWU Requirements for TExES Exams for more information on how to submit a Success Plan.
