This clinical experience will provide evidence-based research, and clinical opportunities that will be implemented, analyzed, evaluated and refined during the clinical experience. This iterative process facilitates the development of skills that promote the learning of all students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The Humanities is integrated throughout with an emphasis on transdisciplinary practices and collaborative approaches to teaching and learning. With the support of the college faculty and the cooperating practitioners, the teacher candidate will actively engage in on-going self-assessment, focusing on the refinement of instructing students, supporting student learning and linking the secondary pupils’ learning progress to the knowledge, skills, abilities and dispositions of the teacher candidate.
