Catalog

ELED 590 and 591 are companion courses. ELED 590 is your student teaching practicum. Expectations for student teaching will be detailed in the Practicum Handbook and referenced more briefly here. ELED 591 is the Childhood Practicum Seminar. The purpose of ELED 591 is to improve and support your teaching practice. The Practicum Seminar goes hand in hand with the student teaching practicum and will address shared issues that frequently arise when new teachers make the move from course work to instruction. There are five themes for the Practicum Seminar: curriculum development and planning, arts integration, classroom management, analyzing your teaching practice using student assessment data as evidence, and EdTPA. The Childhood Practicum Seminar is designed to support your success in your Childhood student teaching placement by helping you develop necessary techniques and dispositions required to establish effective and positive learning environments and work successfully with elementary school children. Offered: fall. 3 credits.
