CIEE 5170 Practicum and Seminar

The practicum is a graduate, one day per week, 16 week experience. It is designed to provide K-5 certification students with the opportunity to work with an experienced teacher in developing professional knowledge, humanistic and reflective practices. Students are assisted in identifying and meeting major goals: small group instruction, managing the classroom for a full morning or day, and demonstrating classroom management skills. Students meet in a seminar in which they discuss classroom issues and work on reflective statements and artifacts for their e-portfolios. Students are formally observed twice during the semester by a University supervisor who requires the writing of journals. Advanced application in the Office of Field Experiences is required.
