Gwynedd Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

The student teaching requirement is fulfilled after all other coursework requirements have been completed. The student is required to make a formal application to the Education Committee early in the spring semester prior to the academic year in which the student anticipates engaging in student teaching. The professional experience is composed of two seven week placements - one in an educational environment serving mildly or moderately disabled students and one in an educational environment serving severely or profoundly disabled students. The experience is designed to allow for the development of professionalism in the school and community setting while affording the opportunity to apply teaching methodology and educational concepts mastered in coursework on a daily basis. A monthly seminar provides an opportunity to analyze the experience. Prerequisites: Approval of Education Committee of Gwynedd-Mercy College's School of Education. All PRAXIS tests must be taken and passed prior to student teaching.
