ECSE 3444 Professional Roles and Teaching Practices I
In this semester long course, pre-service teacher candidates will become familiar with the school environment, working with students and parents, and collaborating with other professionals in the school setting. Pre-service teacher candidates will work in P-5 classrooms assisting the teacher and P-5 students with instructional routines. In collaboration with their collaborating teachers, university supervisors, and course professors, pre-service teacher candidates will work to design and implement instructional projects that unite theory and practice in the P-5 classrooms. Pre-service teacher candidates will also attend regularly scheduled seminars on related topics throughout the semester. The use of technology is required. This course is aligned with state and national standards. Note: this semester long experience requires pre-service teacher candidates to engage in a minimum of 120 hours in a P-5 school setting; while these hours are of upmost importance, the most critical component of this placement is the hands-on learning opportunity that occurs over the course of the semester.
