EDU 670M - Special Education Mild-Moderate Clinical Practice I

(4)

This Clinical Practice experience provides the candidate with an opportunity to work directly with learners in a university assigned classroom setting with a Cooperating Teacher and focus on the general education curriculum and California standards. The candidate is placed in an inclusive classroom that serves general education students as well as students with disabilities. Candidates observe and apply instructional strategies under the leadership of the Cooperating Teacher to learn to manage and deliver the general education curriculum and California standards. The Cooperating Teacher models appropriate teaching methods, lesson planning and delivery, classroom management, use of technology and parent communication. Throughout the student teaching experience, the teaching responsibility gradually shifts from the Cooperating Teacher to the candidate, with careful consideration as to when the candidate is ready to assume the full-day teaching experience. The Clinical Practice experience contributes to candidates’ preparation to complete the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) required for credential completion. Graded Credit/No Credit.
