K-8 Internship 1 Student Impact

Catalog description

In the first internship experience, teacher candidates are guests in a classroom working with a host teacher. The internship is supported by a University Field Instructor who provides feedback and opportunities for reflection on candidates’ lesson plans and instruction. During Internship 1, teacher candidates: 1) observe their mentor teacher and reflect, 2) make connections between foundational coursework and internship experiences; and 3) reflect on their own identities and consider how their identities influence and inform their teaching. This field work is also supported through a seminar that meets four times per quarter.
