Teaching Practicum

Course Description 

If prospective teachers are to acquire the necessary dispositions and self-monitoring skills that will enable them to learn from practice to become better teachers throughout their teaching careers, then they should be afforded the opportunities that will allow them to develop capabilities to exercise sound judgment about educational matters in or outside of the classroom. In addition to strengthening the link between the education courses and the field-based aspects of learning to teach, this course is also expected to give student teachers a chance to reflect on their own professional knowledge and personal growth so that they may be able to integrate these understandings into the total experience of being a teacher.
