EDUC 619 - Directed Initial Student Teaching: Single Subject

Credits: 2
This is a field-experience course where students are placed in a classroom five mornings a week, for 12-14 weeks, supported by a university mentor and a weekly seminar course. In the seminar, students process their experience by writing reflective journals, completing school context assignments and creating the first draft of their teaching portfolio. Initial student teaching provides an arena for student teachers to apply what they are learning in foundations, curriculum and methods courses in the classroom and to process the challenges they encounter in the field in a supportive context. This experience prepares students for Directed Final Student Teaching.
