6.00 Credits
Supervised student teaching in elementary or secondary schools includes creating lesson plans, involving students in active learning, using cooperative methods, developmentally appropriate assessment, and meeting the needs of diverse learners in urban schools. Teaching skills developed through weekly individual and/or group supervision meetings (to be scheduled at the beginning of the semester), conferences, and portfolio design. Requires 100 hours of teaching at two different grade levels, full-time for one semester. - L. Bell, M. Rivera Maulucci, L. Edstrom, Prerequisites: Completion of EDUC BC2052 or BC2062 and BC2055. Corequisites: EDUC BC3064. Enrollment limited. 6 points
-
4.00 Credits
This seminar is designed to help student teachers develop as reflective practictioners who can think critically about issues facing urban schools, particularly how race, class and gender influence schooling; and to examine the challenges and possibilities for providing intellectually engaging, meaningful curriculum to all students in urban classrooms. - L. Bell, Corequisites: EDUC BC3063,y. Enrollment limited to student teachers enrolled in the Education Program. 4 points
