The professional growth and development practicum is designed to meet the student teaching requirements for the Provisional Intervention Specialist, K-12: Mild/Moderate License. The practicum has two components: the student teaching experience and a weekly seminar.

The seminar provides a place where students can reflect on their development as professionals. The seminar will also deal with developing skills to become a reflective practitioner. Additionally, students will complete a personal portfolio in which they will document academic/professional skills, classroom organization, and teacher development, and include a personal teaching philosophy. Finally, topics discussed in the seminar will bear a direct relationship to the requirements of Praxis III. Prerequisite: Completion of all program and Praxis II requirements
