CIEC 3000 Practicum in Early Childhood Education

This two-day-per-week, semester-long, early childhood practicum is designed to provide P-3 certification students with the opportunity to work with an experienced, certified teacher in a preschool-grade 3 setting. Students are assisted in understanding and implementing developmentally appropriate teaching practices, individual and small group instruction, teaching lessons in each subject area, teaching the class for a full morning or day, and demonstrating progress in classroom management skills. Students meet in frequent seminars and are observed by a college supervisor who reads weekly student journals. An application needs to be completed through the Office of Field Experiences.
