Student teachers and interns are required to actively participate in each seminar. Each unit will cover five days and will include detailed lesson plans. Units are to be presented, in a professional manner, within a classroom setting. Student teachers and interns are required to keep a daily journal. Each student teacher will concentrate on lesson plan development.
Plans are to be specific and require thoughtful planning and preparation.
Student teachers are required to send home two letters during each block. One letter which introduces themselves to parents and the second letter is to be a thank you letter, for the opportunity of working with each child. Passing grades are given when all requirements for this course have been met. Because of the concentrated nature of this course, regular attendance and participation are vital and expected. If a student has a disability that will likely require some accommodation by the instructor or the Elementary Education Coordinator of Student Teaching, the student must contact the instructor and document the disability through the Disability Resource Center.
