Description

Teacher candidates spend 75 hours actively engaged in a middle level classroom. This field experience comprises a combination of individual tutorials, small group, and whole class instruction in a middle level classroom (grades 4 through 8). The weekly seminar addresses the four domains of effective teaching: Planning and Preparation, The Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. Strong emphasis is placed on synthesizing learning theories with actual classroom practice. Students are supported through consistent feedback from a mentor teacher and the college supervisor. Reflections and performance-based assignments in the Stage IIIA field experiences are linked to PDE field competencies and are evidenced in continued portfolio development. Students must have current PA clearances on the first day of class. Prerequisite: Formal Admission to the Education Department.
