ED 6026 - Student Teaching: General Education Intensive I

Each student seeking certification in Elementary Education K-8, Secondary Education: Social Studies, Secondary Education: English, Secondary Education: Life Sciences, Secondary Education: Mathematics, Physical Education K-12, or Theatre Education K-12 must be involved in a full-time student teaching experience. The student teacher cooperates in all phases of the school’s program: lesson planning, teaching, multidisciplinary teams, development of instructional materials, effective use of educational technology, teachers’ meetings, in-service opportunities, extra-curricular activities, and involvement in student activities; essentially, he/she participates in all aspects of the teacher’s obligations. Student teachers follow the calendar of the school to which they are assigned and are expected to participate in all phases of the schools’ activities. Student teachers plan with their cooperating teacher and then develop detailed lesson plans using the UBD model and NEC lesson plan for every lesson taught. Students will participate in elements of the NHTCAP during this course. A college supervisor will conduct three triad meetings - an initial triad meeting to set expectations and a middle of the semester triad meeting to evaluate progress using the Danielson Pre-service Teacher rubric and determine readiness to continue to ED 6027 Student Teaching General Education Intensive II. A final triad will be done at the end of ED 6027 Student Teaching General Education Intensive II. Those seeking permission to participate in both a general education and special education student teaching experience must demonstrate competence (scores of developing or better) in the elements on Danielson’s rubric, demonstrate outstanding professionalism, be recommended by their college supervisor to do so, and must complete ED 6026 and ED 6027 with grades of A.
