CEOE study plan

CEOE · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Professional Knowledge, Reading, and General Education (e.g., Assessment of Professional Knowledge, Foundations of Reading, OGET, Elementary Education)

  • Take a timed 50-question diagnostic across all five domains to rank personal weak areas and record baseline scores

  • Build a one-page assessment-literacy reference sheet defining reliability, validity, norm-referenced vs. criterion-referenced, formative vs. summative, and bias review

  • Map the five stages of the reading process (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension) onto instructional examples

  • Draft a 30-item flashcard set covering professional-knowledge terminology and review it three times during the week

Your checkpoint

Completed diagnostic score sheet with a ranked list of the three weakest sub-areas and a 30-card terminology deck

Week 2

Special Education and Student Support Services (e.g., Mild-Moderate Disabilities, Severe-Profound/Multiple Disabilities, School Counselor, School Psychologist, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant)

  • Distinguish the 13 disability categories under IDEA and match each to one classroom accommodation example

  • Sequence the IEP process from referral through reevaluation, naming the legal timeline and required team members at each step

  • Compare push-in, pull-out, co-teaching, and self-contained service-delivery models by describing when each is appropriate

  • Explain FERPA, Section 504, and least-restrictive-environment requirements in writing without notes

  • Solve 40 scenario-based questions on behavior intervention plans and positive behavior supports, tagging each miss with the underlying concept

Your checkpoint

A two-column IEP-process flowchart (steps vs. legal requirements) plus an error log showing 80% or better on the 40 scenario questions

Week 3

Sciences, Mathematics, and Technology (e.g., Advanced Mathematics, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Technology Engineering)

  • Rehearse computational fluency by solving 40 mixed problems in number sense, proportional reasoning, and algebra with a calculator-free time limit

  • Interpret data displays and probability problems by writing a one-sentence justification for each answer choice rejected

  • Summarize core life-science, earth-science, and physical-science concepts into a concept map linking at least 20 terms

  • Describe the steps of the scientific inquiry cycle and the engineering design process, then identify a classroom activity illustrating each

  • Demonstrate safe and ethical use of technology by listing digital-citizenship and acceptable-use principles relevant to a P-12 classroom

Your checkpoint

A scored 40-item math and science practice set with a written rationale for every incorrect answer

Week 4

Professional Knowledge, Reading, and General Education (e.g., Assessment of Professional Knowledge, Foundations of Reading, OGET, Elementary Education) & Sciences, Mathematics, and Technology (e.g., Advanced Mathematics, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Technology Engineering)

  • Re-test the domain 1 and domain 3 sub-areas flagged in week 1 to confirm improvement

  • Construct three original assessment items (selected response, constructed response, performance task) and align each to a stated learning objective

  • Apply the concept map from week 3 by teaching two science concepts aloud in a five-minute recorded explanation

  • Analyze a sample score report to convert raw scores into a study priority list for the remaining four weeks

Your checkpoint

Midpoint mini-exam of 60 mixed domain 1 and 3 items scored at 75% or higher, with a revised priority list

Week 5

English Language Arts, Social Studies, and World Languages (e.g., English, Middle Level Social Studies, U.S. History/Oklahoma History/Government/Economics, Spanish, Cherokee, Latin)

  • Outline the major eras of U.S. and Oklahoma history on a single timeline with 15 anchor events and dates

  • Compare the three branches of government and the Oklahoma state constitution's structure in a written summary

  • Apply basic economic concepts (scarcity, supply and demand, opportunity cost) to five real-world scenarios

  • Identify the main idea, supporting details, and author's purpose in four short passages of varying text types

  • Practice 20 target-language items in the chosen world language, including vocabulary recall and grammar application

Your checkpoint

A completed one-page history timeline plus a 40-item domain 4 practice set scored and error-analyzed

Week 6

English Language Arts, Social Studies, and World Languages (e.g., English, Middle Level Social Studies, U.S. History/Oklahoma History/Government/Economics, Spanish, Cherokee, Latin) & Fine Arts, Health/Physical Education, Business, and School Leadership (e.g., Art, Instrumental/General Music, Physical Education/Health/Safety, Business Education, Principal Comprehensive Assessment, Superintendent)

  • Write two document-based short responses using primary-source evidence and proper citation of the source

  • Distinguish the elements of music, visual art, and theatre by matching 15 terms to definitions and examples

  • Summarize health, safety, and physical-education standards into a list of age-appropriate instructional activities

  • Explain the role of a school leader in budgeting, supervision, and school improvement planning

  • Review business-education fundamentals by defining 20 key terms in accounting, marketing, and entrepreneurship

Your checkpoint

A domain 4 and domain 5 combined practice set of 50 items at 75% or better, plus two graded document-based responses

Week 7

Fine Arts, Health/Physical Education, Business, and School Leadership (e.g., Art, Instrumental/General Music, Physical Education/Health/Safety, Business Education, Principal Comprehensive Assessment, Superintendent) & Special Education and Student Support Services (e.g., Mild-Moderate Disabilities, Severe-Profound/Multiple Disabilities, School Counselor, School Psychologist, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant)

  • Revisit the highest-miss special-education scenarios from week 2 and rewrite each explanation from memory

  • Create a cross-domain cheat sheet linking leadership, fine arts, and health concepts to instructional practice

  • Complete 30 timed mixed items to build pacing at roughly one minute per question

  • Conduct a self-audit of remaining weak sub-areas and schedule targeted review blocks for week 8

Your checkpoint

A consolidated one-page cross-domain cheat sheet plus a scored 30-item timed pacing drill
