EDUC 404 - Student Teacher: Professional Seminar


Credits: Three (3)
Prerequisite: EDUC-200
Taken concurrently with student teaching, this course helps students develop a final skill set as they transition to their own classrooms. Students develop professional communication skills for a variety of audiences, and strengthen planning and differentiation skills in planning and instruction. The seminar specifically addresses legal and ethical aspects of teaching. Students also engage in extensive professional collaboration and consultation within the class as they analyze and work to resolve authentic problems of practice encountered during the student teaching experience. An extensive, semester-long Teacher Performance Assessment and presentation challenges candidates to synthesize what they have learned about teaching throughout their program and demonstrate their proficiency at affecting student learning. This course taken at the graduate level requires additional readings and assignments.
