Description
Clinical practice is one semester of full-time directed teaching at the elementary or secondary levels. The beginning date will coincide with the public-school calendar. Students seeking licensure in the PreK-12 areas will do half of the student teaching at the elementary and half at the secondary level. Students seeking a SPED endorsement will complete half of the student teaching in a general education classroom and half in a SPED classroom. Observation will be stressed during the early part of the clinical practice, with responsible teaching emphasized as the semester progresses. Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Teacher Education Program and approval of the Teacher Education Committee. Clinical practice will be available both Fall and Spring semesters.
