Students will maintain a time record sheet. They will follow their supervising teacher's directions implicitly and in all ways reflect positively on LCSC, its programs and students. Practicum will include an evening convocation, a campus diversity activity, and a Friday multicultural experience. Students should attempt to make plans to spend entire days, or if this is not possible, half days in the schools assigned. While in L-C area schools, students must wear identifying LCSC badges.
Students have an option to complete practicum at one site or at two sites.
They may request assignment to an elementary school, middle school, or high school, or a combination of any two. After an initial interview, cooperating teachers may decline to work with a student. When observing teachers, students should be sensitive to two concepts - the perceived aim of the teacher in undertaking a specific activity or exercising a certain behavior, and the various roles assumed by the teacher in the course of a class or school day. These two concepts should be faithfully recorded as observed in the practicum portion of the log. The student may earn a possible total 18 points.
