EDT 4040 - Elementary Clinical Practice I

(4)

This Clinical Practice experience provides the candidate with an opportunity to work directly with learners in a university-assigned elementary classroom with a Cooperating Teacher. Candidates observe and apply instructional strategies under the leadership of the Cooperating Teacher to learn to manage and deliver instruction in the elementary classroom. 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 California Teaching Performance Assessment (CalTPA) Cycle 1 required for credential completion.
