ETC 516 Integration, Engagement and Practice
The Integration, Engagement, and Practice block contains outcomes related to the knowledge, skills, and strategies necessary to establish and maintain a supportive and engaged classroom learning community. This block supports the integration of technology (i.e., hardware, various types of educational software, and web resources across the K-8 curriculum) to improve a teacher’s classroom management skills, increase student engagement, and enhance the learning community. Additionally, candidates within this block develop knowledge and skills on how to develop, instruct, and assess engaging content areas (i.e., the arts, health and fitness, and technology) in a K-8 setting. This block also includes an introductory internship of at least 20 half days, which supports candidates in developing field-based perspectives and reflection skills.
Prerequisite
Admittance to the Master in Teaching Performance Based program or prior approval of the Teacher Certification Program Director is required.
