TCH ED 422: Practicum I - Middle and High School

Course Description

The overarching goal for this introductory field experience is to help teacher candidates shift their perspectives from that of a student to that of a classroom teacher. Emphasis is on observing the relationship among students’ experiences within and outside of school, and planning specific learning experiences for academic and social growth and development. Additionally, teacher candidates attend to the individual student’s responses to learning experiences, as well as the social dynamic among students as they work together in a classroom.
