Culminating Teaching Experience and Seminar for Already Certified Teachers

Catalog description

This course is the culminating experience in the plan of study toward additional NH teacher certification for already certified teachers and is designed to provide teacher candidates an opportunity to be mentored in the field by expert teachers in their new certification area, and to practice the variety of methods and strategies studied in the teacher preparation program. Teacher candidates enrolled in this course may be at different stages of acquiring the required 80 clinical hours of additional supervised teaching experience for additional certifications. Additionally, teacher candidates will use the Teacher Candidate Assessment of Performance process to develop a final culminating document that demonstrates their proficiency in the areas of contextualization, planning and preparation, instruction, academic language, assessment, and reflection. At least two of these three lessons will be observed by the course instructor/Field Placement Faculty member.
