ECE 1480 - Early Childhood Internship

Institution:

New Jersey City University

Subject:

Description:

As a course in the undergraduate early childhood program, ECE 1480 is part of the process of developing a teacher candidate who is a reflective practitioner in an urban environment. Ideally, teacher candidates experience a field-based, fulltime, full-semester internship in urban early childhood settings. Half of this placement (8 weeks) is spent in a preprimary setting (ages 3-5), the other half in a primary setting (ages 5-8). When teacher candidates have had experience in either of these settings, their placement may be in one setting. Teacher candidates observe master teachers, tutor and teach children under the supervision of their cooperating teacher and college supervisor. They will plan for and conduct assessments of student learning and develop and implement appropriate strategies to meet children's developmentally diverse and special physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs. Teacher candidates assume full responsibilities of a classroom teacher during the course of the semester and will be responsible for both in-class and out-of-class activities normally assigned to teaching, including opportunities to communicate with, conference, and work with parents and interdisciplinary teams of professionals. Value issues and a code of ethics are considered as they relate to candidates' field experiences.
