Capstone Part 1: Culinary/Baking

Catalog description

Students in this course (and Part 2 of same) spend 15, 30 or 45 class days in a supervised teaching situation at Johnson & Wales University. During student teaching, students plan and implement lessons and perform other related tasks under the supervision of the JWU clinical educator, university supervisor and professional M.A.T. program staff. Through their work at the school site, students demonstrate their understanding of all applicable content standards, as well as any other professional standards or guidelines in force in the field. Periodic evaluations and specific feedback guide the learning. From time-to-time, students participate in ad hoc seminars related to their student teaching experience. In addition, along with the capstone faculty, each student designs and implements a culinary/baking curriculum capstone project that is research-based and tied to strong educational practice learned throughout the program. The scope of the project is tied to the length of the student teaching done as part of the overall capstone experience. Note: In order to fully meet program requirements, students must complete both Part 1 and Part 2 of this placement.
