ML STUDENT TEACHING (GRADES 4-6)

PREREQUISITE: EDML4010 AND EDUC4005, GRADE OF C OR BETTER
During this portion of student teaching, middle level education majors will be placed in a 4th-6th grade setting, and may be expected to teach any subject area (science, mathematics, language arts, or social studies) for approximately seven weeks. Student teachers will be expected to demonstrate instructional strategies that capitalize on the developmental characteristics of young adolescents and to design successful interventions responsive to the needs of individual middle level students. Student teachers will be supervised by a cooperating teacher and a LRU supervisor, and will be expected to participate in collaborative team building opportunities. Part of the student teaching experience will also include an on campus student teaching seminar, where topics such as certification requirements, school law, and interviewing strategies will be presented.
