CIEC 5010 Practicum and Seminar P-3

The graduate practicum and seminar for P-3 alternate route certification students is designed to apply learnings about professional knowledge, developmentally appropriate and humanistic practices, and reflective thinking to their P-3 classroom at their place of employment for two academic semesters. Students are observed a minimum of two times each semester by a University supervisor who regularly reviews student journals. A seminar accompanies the practicum and meets for a minimum of eight hours over the course of four seminars during the year (two per semester). The seminar provides a basis for discussion and reflection upon teaching experiences and coursework. Each student will develop a portfolio demonstrating his/her teaching ability.
