Student Teaching I in Early Childhood/Special Education or Childhood/Special Education

Catalog description

This course will be in a setting that includes at least 20% of children who have Individual Education Plans (IEP's) and is taught by a certified special educator. In this placement, students will identify strengths and areas that need improvement. Students will participate in all classroom activities and will learn to develop and implement classroom lessons for small groups and the entire class. They will be supervised (mentored) by a Yeshiva University supervisor weekly and participate in discussions relating to the experiences in the classroom. Three to four formal observations as well as informal observations will be completed by the supervisor including feedback from the Cooperating teacher. Student Teachers who already have initial teaching certification may register for Student Teaching II.
