EDU 206 - Classroom Practicum

Credits: 2

This practicum gives the prospective teacher the opportunity to work in a classroom setting at an off-campus site. The students will put into practice curriculum development methods and models of teaching strategies. The selection and sequence of content and learning activities should progress from more familiar deductive, teacher centered models to student centered models which stress inductive thinking, cooperative learning, modes of inquiry, problem-solving and creative thinking. This course will address the different learning styles and appropriate curriculum development. The practicum must be taken in conjunction with the seminar course. 220 hours of field experience/observation are required. This course requires a records check through the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification and FBI prior to acceptance into the program.
