Practicum with a Focus on Curriculum Integration and Guiding Behavior

Catalog description

This field experience, taken in the spring of junior year, provides candidates with a classroom of students and a mentor teacher with whom to practice the teaching of content related to their concurrent methods courses (either language arts, mathematics and science OR language arts, mathematics and social studies) with small groups of students as well as in full class contexts. The accompanying monthly seminar explores the integration and construction of meaningful curriculum in elementary education contexts and in classroom management as well as reflection along with field-based partners.
