In Student Teaching, candidates seeking an Special Education P-12 endorsement co-teach with a mentor teacher in a school special education classroom during the quarter to develop and demonstrate capacities to perform the full-time responsibilities of a teacher and to make a positive impact on student learning. During the field experience, candidates exhibit essential dispositions; demonstrate skill in planning, engagement, assessment, and reflection upon student learning, and collect evidence of performance that connects with standards and criteria for pre-service teachers. Through successful completion of this course, candidates will demonstrate endorsement competencies required for residency teacher certification with a Special Education P-12 endorsement.
