ELE420 Elementary Education: Practicum III

An advanced course that continues to integrate educational theory and understanding with field experience and methods courses; Practicum III and Student Teaching are linked experiences. Through this three term professional sequence, the student participates actively in a full academic year in elementary/middle level schools. The concurrent university course and field experiences provide an opportunity to bridge theory and practice. In Practicum III, the students evaluate and apply independently the concepts introduced in Practicum II and elaborate in Practicum III, and continue to refine these concepts in Student Teaching. Prerequisite(s): Admission to National College of Education; a grade of "C" or better in ELE410, ELE415, and the two methods courses taken concurrently with Practicum II. Co-requisite(s): Practicum III Field experience. Two Methods courses. 3 quarter hours
