SMAT 5620 Master Of Arts in Teaching Residency II

Master of Arts in Teaching Residency II is a 3 credit hybrid graduate course that runs concurrently with content pedagogy and colloquium. This year-long residency in a classroom setting under the supervision of a highly effective and experienced classroom teacher and a university mentor is designed to support teacher candidates as they apply professional knowledge, skills and dispositions in support of student learning. Teacher candidates work in classrooms with students of varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds and exceptionalities. Teacher candidates keep a daily journal and will be observed a minimum of ten (10) times during the year. Teacher candidates will receive both pre and post lesson feedback from the university supervisor and classroom teacher. A weekly seminar accompanies the residency experience where teacher candidates reflect on their teaching practice, themselves as lefelong learners, and the current landscape of education in the United States and the world.
