EDUC 456 - Early Childhood Student Teaching Seminar

Taken concurrently with EDUC 475 (Birth-age 4) and EDUC 470 or EDUC 485. It is designed to provide an opportunity to synthesize the student teaching/internship experience and move the student teacher/intern towards the world of teaching at the lower elementary level and servicing young children in a professional manner. Meeting once a week, it provides an avenue for Early Childhood student teachers/interns to analyze, evaluate and discuss the student teaching/internship experience with others in similar settings, while also offering information on the certification and employment search processes. Student teachers/interns are also given the opportunity to connect with their college supervisors in order to examine and reflect on their practice in the field. Student teachers/interns completing the Early Childhood minor will participate in several Seminar sessions that include all student teachers; at times, however, they will meet specifically with other Early Childhood student teachers/interns.
