EDUC 367 - Clinical Experience I (Elementary, Middle, Secondary)


This course integrates at least 200 hours of focused field work with group professional development activities such as “rounds” and seminar discussion.  Students will be mentored by education faculty and/or professonal development school teachers as they broaden and deepen their understanding of particular approaches to curriculum (consistent with local, state and national curriculum frameworks) and develop expertise in teaching practices (e.g., fostering and assessing literacy development) that engage groups of children, including children with special needs, in active and developmentally appropriate learning.  This experience promotes students’ capacity to build and participate in a professional learning community reflecting on teaching, children’s learning, schooling and education
