DEAF EDUCATION TEACHING LABORATORY 1-

Catalog description

(Repeatable for credit) The purpose of the “teaching lab” is to provide pre-service teachers with the opportunity to develop their teaching skills prior to student teaching experiences, and to be more effective in their practicum placements. This is accomplished through the planning, teaching, and reflection of mock lessons. Through the “teaching lab” experience, pre-service deaf education teachers will have the opportunity to develop professional-level skills necessary for working with deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students, along with self-reflection and giving and/or receiving feedback. Participating faculty members will observe and assess pre-service teachers as they develop their teaching skills and understanding of what it means to be a professional in the field.
