The goal is to develop a conscience of craft and to prepare people to student teach in the following semester. This is a demanding, hands-on course conducted seminar style. Each student is expected to spend a semester of the senior year in full-time student teaching. Two experiences totaling approximately 15 weeks are given. Assignments within the immediate geographical area are made as appropriate to the interests and capabilities of each student.
Weekly supervision is planned.
Transportation to the site is the responsibility of the student. Written application must be made to the Education Department during the junior year or the year prior to when student teaching is planned. The secondary education program culminates in a full semester of student teaching. Students will spend 14 weeks teaching in a grade 7-12 placement within the vicinity of the College. Students have all the duties and must conform to all the expectations of a regular classroom teacher.
