Academic Bulletin Teacher Education Program - 2012-13 - 422 EDU 422

The purpose of student teaching is to bridge the gap in teacher education between theory and practice. It will be an eleven week, full-time experience in classroom teaching at the secondary school level under the supervision of a public school teacher. At the end of the student teaching experience, the student teacher will devote time to reflection and consultation with field supervisors and education faculty as he finalizes his classroom based research project, program portfolio, and other program exit requirements. Two-and-one-half credits, spring or fall semesters (fall semester for Ninth Semester Program students only).

Prerequisite: All previous education courses and admission to program and acceptance to Student Teaching.
