EDUC 467 - Student Teaching in Mathematics Grades 6-12

Credits: (12)

Prerequisites: Successful completion of Early Field Experiences in Teaching Mathematics Grades 6-12 (EDUC 447) as demonstrated on the final early field experience evaluation; recommendation of the candidate’s university field supervisor.
This semester long full-time field experience provides teacher candidates extensive clinical experience in a grade level appropriate for licensure in mathematics teaching at the middle level (grades 6-8) or secondary level (grades 6-12). Candidates design and deliver a wide variety of learning experiences in their placement with the advantage of mentorship and coaching provided by schools, licensed teachers, and university faculty. Candidates begin by observing and co-teaching with their cooperating teachers and then transition to assume full responsibility for appropriate mathematics classes. Regularly scheduled seminars enhance professional development of the candidate and are included as a weighted percentage of the student teaching grade.
