Elementary/Special Education Clinical Practice: Planning, Professionalism, and Performance

Catalog description

Teacher candidates will engage in a full-day semester long experience. They are evaluated on their ability to plan effective and appropriate lessons for all students. Performance in the classroom is evident when the intern is prepared, is knowledgeable of the content and pedagogy, provides feedback and assesses formally and informally throughout the instructional segment. Evidence of professional growth is documented by personal dispositions, assessment commentary, attendance, reflections, and feedback from the mentor teacher and college supervisor. Teacher Candidates will complete their final portfolio and TLA as course requirements. Prerequisites: Admission to Teacher Education Program, completion of all professional education courses with a grade of C or higher, enrollment at the college for at least one semester prior to clinical practice, and written application at least one semester in advance.
