EDU 467 - Observation and Student Teaching at the Early Childhood and Childhood Level

A structured university-supervised teaching experience is provided in selected early childhood settings (Pre-K - Grade 2) and selected childhood settings (Grades 1- 6). Teacher candidates will have the opportunity to assume increased responsibilities for instruction consistent with higher educational standards, conduct assessments, develop classroom management skills and perform other related duties in classrooms having diverse student populations. This field experience is an integral part of the professional educational curriculum and allows candidates to demonstrate competence in the professional roles for which they are preparing. Applications for enrollment must be submitted to the Education Department by September 30 in the Fall semester, for Spring term enrollment, and by February 1 in the Spring semester, for Fall term enrollment. A minimum of 15 weeks of full-time practice is required under the direction of the student teacher supervisor and the cooperating teacher(s). A weekly seminar takes place on campus.
