Institution:

Touro College

Subject:

Description:

Students complete 50 hours of field experience in general education with one of the three following developmental groups: birth - pre-K, K, and grades 1- 2 (combined field experience/student teaching in general education must cover all three developmental levels). Students also complete one 20-day student teaching experience in general education with one of the three developmental groups. For field experience, students work with appropriately certified cooperating teachers at school sites to gradually assume increased teacher-related responsibilities in the classroom. Field experience includes scheduled meetings, supervised by the Coordinator of Student Teaching or another assigned faculty member. Logs of hours and activities are maintained by all students, to be reviewed by the Coordinator. Written assignments require careful observation of cooperating teachers and children as well as reflection on the application of course work to the classroom. For student teaching, student teachers are supervised by appropriately certified cooperating teachers. Students are also observed and evaluated by a Touro faculty member. Student teaching placements are made in which students can increasingly take responsibility for teaching activities, including reaching the point of presenting academic lessons and activities independently. Students keep logs of their hours and experiences. Student teaching experiences are accompanied by regularly scheduled classes. Instruction is provided and discussion encouraged on professional issues ranging from creating lesson plans to arranging a professional portfolio and resume. Particular emphasis is placed on self-awareness and analysis of one's own teaching performance. Prerequisite: completion of education courses, approval of Education Chair, passing the STAT (Student Teaching Admissions Test). 2 credits.
