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.
