Course Description
The practicum internship course is designed to create a strong connection between educational theory and meaningful classroom practice. Participants will engage in authentic classroom experiences that help them develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of an effective educator. Throughout the internship, candidates will apply their learning in real settings while receiving guidance, reflection, and feedback. As the course progresses, participants will gradually take on additional teaching responsibilities. They will also strengthen key understandings that support effective teaching and learning for all students.
Course participants will develop skills in instructional design and lesson planning that reflect the diverse needs of learners. This includes learning how to create lessons that include modifications and accommodations that allow every student to access the curriculum and experience success. Candidates will also learn effective ways to assess, monitor, and report student progress in a clear and meaningful manner that supports continued growth. In addition, participants will explore and apply developmentally appropriate instructional delivery, facilitation strategies, and teaching methods within both the Arts and Language domains. Through this work, candidates will learn how to design engaging instruction that honors students’ developmental stages, interests, cultural backgrounds, and individual learning needs.
Teacher in Residence (TIR) program participants in internship experiences will match the certificate the program leads to as closely as possible. Therefore, Teachers in Residence (TIR) participants that have placements in single subject areas, including related arts and/or special area classrooms, will be required to document experiences to expose them to the full breadth of content within the target certification. The CAC field experience program requires a minimum of 45 clock hours of classroom field experience per semester in conjunction with enrollment in the corresponding practicum course. The practicum internship experience requires a total of 90 clock hours over the duration of two full 16-week semesters.
