Clin Prac II:Gr 7-12

Catalog description

Students perform 90 clock hours of a college-supervised Practicum in Grades 7-12. Students acquire proficiency in the use of various test materials in the diagnosis of reading and writing difficulties under the supervision of appropriately certified cooperating teachers who evaluate students’ progress. Cooperating teachers also evaluate students in their professional settings. In addition, scheduled group meetings are held for all students participating in the Practicum. A case study that integrates relevant research is required. Students are also required to keep a log, prepare lesson plans, and submit a culminating project that analyzes and discusses the way in which various aspects of the course work and the two Practica (EDSN 692 and EDSN 693) have furthered their understanding and ability to diagnose and treat reading difficulties.
