Prereq: Restricted to students with professional education admission.

TO: 

Title:  Student Teaching Seminar

Description:  Discussion and writing about practical issues of teaching as experienced in the full-time directed teaching semester.  Incorporates presentations and panels by experienced educators as well as larte- and small-group interaction to promote reflection and inform beginning teachers.

Coreq: CIFLD 411 or CIFLD 412 or CIFLD 414; Restricted to students with professional education admission

II.  Justification for action

This seminar was originally scheduled in the final weeks the semester after a 10-week student teaching experience had ended.  Since the time when the course was named, student teaching has increased to 18 weeks.  The new title reflects the fact that the seminar will take place at the same time as student teaching instead of afterwards.

The corequisite clarifies that the course must be taken at the same time as Directed Teaching-Elementary, Directed Teaching-Middle School, or Directed Teaching-High School.

Revival of this course as a required component of elementary and secondary education programs involved a shift in delivery format to a combination of large- and small-group sessions.  The revised description more accurately reflects the nature of the course as revised.
