ED 390 - MSEL Directed Teaching Placement and Seminar


6 credits
Student teachers work in a public elementary school classroom for a placement of approximately 15 weeks. Beginning by teaching in two content areas per day, the student teacher gradually advances to a two-week complete takeover in which he/she is in charge of curricular planning and implementation, as well as classroom management. The placement is accompanied by a weekly seminar which all student teachers attend. Topics include cooperative learning, curriculum development, classroom management, differentiating instruction, lesson planning and assessment, parent-teacher interaction, and standardized testing. Students complete various assignments for the seminar, including, journals, observations, lesson plans in all content areas and a video.
