EDUC 481 Secondary Student Teaching Part III

Full-time clinical practice in a designated discipline-specific secondary, inclusive, or SPED classroom is required under the supervision of an experience certificated teacher. The candidates must spend 450+ hours in supervised field experience over the course of their student teaching experience. Student teacher placement is done in cooperation with school districts/principals and, because it is a shared decision, placement is not guaranteed. Placement decisions are based on the applicant’s academic preparation, interpersonal relationship abilities, classroom management skills, and other factors outlined in Minimum Competencies for Teacher Candidates, available from the School of Education and Psychology. Students enrolled in student teaching may not register for other courses without written permission. Graded S or NC.

*Elementary Education majors completing a secondary content major and/or 45+ credits in a secondary endorsement area who want secondary certification will need to complete secondary certification required courses along with 1-5 credit hours of secondary student teaching and the current Washington state assessment tool(s) (i.e. current edTPA).
