EDU 211 Pre-Education Practicum

This course is designed to provide pre-education candidates with the opportunity to conduct careful and systematic field-based observations in a school setting and engage in seminar discussions regarding those experiences. Seminars will also focus on the district's teacher evaluation framework and what the descriptors mean in practice. During EDU 211 Pre-Education Practicum, candidates will complete eight essential research-based tasks required of those doing observations and fieldwork in school and classroom settings. Candidates will 1) observe, 2) notice, 3) notate, 4) predict, 5) generate, 6) analyze, 7) critique, and 8) reflect. Employing the use of these eight (8) tasks to guide classroom observations efforts promotes the critical analysis of classroom life and facilitates the development of a realistic perspective of the realities of teaching.
