Subject:

EDUCATION - SECONDARY

Description:

SECD 410 -- @Middle or Secondary Science Field Experience (3) This course provides pre student teaching field experience in secondary science in the B.A. and B.A./M.S.T. programs, or middle school (grades 5-8) pre student teaching field experience for students in the B.A./M.S.T. program leading to certification for Middle School and High School. Under the supervision of mentor teachers and the SUNY Potsdam course instructor, you will observe, design and deliver lessons in an assigned public school classroom. You will spend a minimum of six hours in the public school each week, and meet with the course instructor on campus one hour per week. After two weeks of observations and as approved by your mentor teacher, you will lead small group learning activities in the classroom. After one month and as approved by your mentor teacher, you will teach a minimum of two hours in the classroom each week. Partnership schools have been selected with three criteria in mind: 1) They have been selected because they provide you with mentor teachers who are actively involved in the current school reform movement; 2) They have been selected because they include diverse student populations representing multiple ethnic groups and/or include groups that traditionally have been underserved by schools; 3) They have been selected because for each, the school-college partnership is mutually beneficial, enabling the school district to progress in its school improvement plan, and enabling the college to provide you with a special opportunity to apply what you learn in a meaningful context. Given these criteria, by enrolling in this course you are assuming a new level of responsibility in your education. You will be engaged by participating public school teachers in a manner to enhance the education provided to their students. You should view this course as an opportunity to begin, in a small way, assuming responsibility to provide for the educational needs of students in the pre college classroom.
