ETC 675 Student Teaching in Elementary Education

In Student Teaching, candidates seeking an Elementary Education K-8 endorsement co-teach with a cooperating teacher in a K-8 school placement for the required number of days to develop and demonstrate the full-time responsibilities of a teacher and make a positive impact on student learning. During student teaching, candidates exhibit essential dispositions; demonstrate skill in planning, engagement, assessment, and reflection upon student learning; participate in a learning community; and collect evidence of performance that connects with standards and criteria for pre-service teachers. Through successful completion of student teaching, candidates demonstrate endorsement competencies required for residency teacher certification with an Elementary Education K-8 endorsement. Candidates seeking an approved second endorsement in this course must also demonstrate competencies of the second endorsement.
