The Student Teaching Clinical is a fifteen week course where the teacher candidates gradually assume complete responsibility of the classroom and instruction under the supervision of an experienced, licensed/certified cooperating teacher and University professor. The student teachers will observe, plan and teach lessons, assess students’ work, and reflect on the overall student teaching experience. This course also provides student teachers the opportunity to enhance their knowledge, skills, and dispositions as they participate in professional conferences, workshops/seminars and mandated trainings. The student teachers will be required to complete their teaching experiences in a classroom setting at two (2) different grade levels. The course is designed to address the student teachers’ requirements regardless to the areas of specialization.

Term Offered: Fall and Spring
