Description:

Student Teaching for Special Education Cross-Categorical Disabilities consists of one eight-week teaching experience taken in a special education cross-categorical setting in a state or nationally accredited public or private school and under the supervision of an experienced and qualified cooperating teacher. This practicum must be taken along with ELCL 476, EMCL 476, or ESCL 476, so that the student will have two eight-week student teaching experiences; one eight-week experience in a cross-categorical classroom and one eight-week experience in an elementary, middle, or secondary school regular education classroom. Students seeking cross-categorical certification should choose a to take the practicum at the elementary, middle, or secondary school level as this is a K-12 certification. This field experience enables students to practice and develop the pedagogical skills necessary to meet the Missouri performance standards for teacher certification. After being formally admitted to the Teacher Education program, certification candidates must apply to student teach. Students may be allowed to request a specific school district in which to complete their student teaching experience; however the final decision regarding placement will be left to the discretion of the Director of Field Experiences and Professional Portfolio Development. Candidates are required to complete their student teaching experience in the grade level and subject area(s) in which they are seeking certification. Application for Student Teaching must be made to the Education Office by the end of the second week of the Fall semester for Spring and Summer Student Teaching and by the end of the second week of the Spring semester for Fall Student Teaching. Specific information about student teaching may be obtained from the Guide and Portfolio Manual for the Development, Licensure and Employment of Teachers and Counselors.
