Course Description

Teaching is one of the most demanding, stimulating, and rewarding of all professions. The student teaching experience is one that provides opportunities to participate in the major activities required of teachers today: to plan, implement, and evaluate effective learning procedures and activities; to select and use instructional materials that facilitate learning; to develop the techniques of self-evaluation; to adapt to the social and professional framework of the educational institution; and, to assume the role of the teacher in the community. Student teaching is a planned and carefully supervised learning experience within an educational environment. This experience provides the student teacher with opportunities to implement the principles, theories, strategies and methods learned in university classes. The insights gathered while in the field will assist in developing a philosophy of education and a personal teaching style based on self-reflection and feedback from P-12 students, the cooperating teacher, and the university supervisor.
