EDU 671 ESOL/BE Practicum & Supervision 20 Day

This course provides classroom instruction and field experience for educators of English language learners.  It provides a supervised student teaching experience for graduate students who are already certified in an approved area of education (20 day placement) and for those graduate students who are earning their initial certification in TESOL pre-K-12 (40 day placement).  Students are placed in an approved ESL/BE classroom at a grade level appropriate to ensuring they have experience across the pre-K-12 levels.  All effort will be made to place those students already holding an early childhood or childhood certificate in a middle school or secondary school (grades 5-12) and students already holding a middle school or adolescent certificate in an elementary school setting (grades K-6).  The field placement shall be for five days per week until your placement requirements have been fulfilled.  This means for those students with prior certification, a 20 day placement is required.  For those with no prior teaching certification, a 40 day placement is required.  Classroom theory is applied to field practice. Students will be observed by a field supervisor a minimum of two times for a 20 day placement and three times for a 40 day placement.
