EDC 2003 Clinical Experiences in Education
This course is a pre-student teaching practicum (K-12). It allows for students who are considering the field of education an opportunity to observe and interact with children and state certified teachers in a classroom setting. Required participation includes a minimum of 30 clock hours in the classroom. A weekly 50-minute seminar is provided for students to focus on classroom issues including classroom management and effective teaching and learning methods/styles. Students are supervised by the college instructor and a cooperating teacher. Discussions of classroom situations are explored as they gain experience through the practicum. This course requires direct contact with children. Because of that fact, students will be required to complete a criminal background check. Prerequisite: Suggested concurrent enrollment in
