Description

Teacher candidates will spend 75 hours actively engaged in a K-4 classroom with support from a mentor teacher and a college supervisor. This Stage IIIA field experiences comprises a combination of individual tutorials, small group, and whole-class instruction in a PreK-4 classroom. Weekly seminars address the four domains of effective teaching: Planning and Preparation, The Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. An emphasis is placed on synthesizing theories learned with what is occurring in actual practice. The reflections and assignments embedded in the Stage IIIA field experiences are aligned to PDE field competencies and evidenced in students’ portfolios. Students are required to have current PA clearances on the first day of class. Prerequisite: Formal Admission to the Education Department.
