Field Observation VII

Catalog description

This course combines the course content of 207 and 208 Field Observation 207 and 208 into a one-semester experience. The first half of the semester focuses on students cultivating a repertoire of strategies to use in performing their tutorial service with students in grades K-12 as well as a sense of the importance of service within the community and lessons of civic responsibility. These strategies include lesson and session planning, communication skills, and inter-cultural competence. Strategies are developed, through observations of tutoring sessions. These experiences equip students to properly select, implement, and evaluate specific methods to use in their sessions and to enhance their work in the community through reflection activities such as readings, discussions, and poster sessions. During the second part of the course, students perform a minimum of 20 hours of service as tutors. Service sites include schools and community agencies.
