EDU 419 - Early Childhood/Elementary Student Teaching

6 Hour(s)
The student teaching experience is an intensive, comprehensive requirement that provides students with a culminating opportunity to apply theory, methods and skills learned throughout their teacher preparation in a school setting, working under the direction and guidance of a master classroom teacher. A university supervisor is responsible for observing and evaluating the student teacher throughout the classroom teaching assignments. Placement is limited to schools that are within 30 miles of Carroll. Placement within walking distance of Carroll cannot be guaranteed; therefore, students must have transportation. Student teaching is considered a full load; no other courses should be added. Because of state requirements several weeks will be added to the Carroll semester to coincide with school district semesters. Fall student teachers will begin in August and teach into January. Spring student teachers will begin in January and teach into June.

Successful completion of appropriate PRAXIS II Content Knowledge Exam(s), and/or ACTFL Language Test, and/or FoRT, admission to the student teaching program, education faculty approval, TB test, and criminal history and background check.
