Student Teaching

Catalog description

Student Teaching is the culminating experience, the capstone of the academic and professional training of a pre-service teacher. A twelve week, daily practicum is completed in the public school classroom. A one-hour weekly seminar will serve as the forum in which student teachers can address challenges and concerns while sharing experiences, expertise, and successes. This seminar will also connect to management and student discipline topics coordinated with the ED 450 management course taken concurrently with student teaching. There are a vast number of education students that BYU-Idaho is trying to service. Because of this, be aware of the following: 1. There is a STRONG probability that your student-teaching placement will be at a distant site. (Salt Lake City, UT, Ogden, UT; Melissa, TX; Caldwell, ID) 2. Distant-site placements are limited to certain locations that have been organized for BYU-Idaho students. 3. There will be a disruption in your regular routine in order to participate and you will need personal transportation.
