EDU 442 - Professional Seminar in Teaching

The purpose of this pre-internship seminar is to build a learning community among undergraduates pursuing teacher certification through all pathways. Students in this learning community will be introduced to lesson planning (including basic elements, technology applications, and formative assessment of learning outcomes) and basic classroom management, build relationships with K- 12 students, work with families, and collaborate with professionals. Students in this course will plan and implement at least three lessons in a school-based “residency” setting. They will observe, reflect on, and engage in basic classroom management techniques and systems. In their residency settings, they will build teaching relationships with students and work with families to support K-12 student success. Students will prepare themselves for the responsibilities of the internship, the year following this course. The course is designed to be carried out in conjunction with a 36-hour field-based placement in designated residency sites and for students to design and deliver a family-related service learning project.
