EDUC 5180 Student Teaching and Intrn Sem/Port Asmt

The internship is a sixteen-week teaching experience in a field placement for students enrolled in the MAT program. It is designed to apply learning about professional knowledge, humanistic practices, and reflective thinking to classroom situations on a full-time basis for one semester. Students are observed a minimum of eight times by a University supervisor who regularly reviews student journals. A once-a-week (for 16 weeks), one-hour-and-forty-minute seminar accompanies the internship and has three goals: 1) discussion and reflection of current issues and students’ teaching experiences, while brainstorming solutions to classroom problems; 2) creation of an employment e-portfolio with artifacts linked to the ten New Jersey Teaching Standards and written reflective statements for each standard; the Seminar instructor provides evaluations and feedback on each portfolio using a rubric; and 3) career development information is also made available (e.g., resume writing, interviewing skills, organizing credential files). Advanced application in the Office of Field Experiences is required. Prerequisite(s): CMAT 5170 or CIEE 5170 (10 credits; pass/fail)
