Single Subject Student Teaching
Single Subject (CLAD Emphasis) Credential students complete several supervised clinical experiences in secondary classrooms. Students complete an early field experience which exposes them to various school activities. They observe the instructional process, assist the classroom teacher with the lesson presentation and attend various school functions for students and parents.
After students complete the early field experience, satisfy the academic requirements of their major and are accepted in the Single Subject Credential program, they complete one quarter of course work before beginning two quarters of supervised student teaching. During this clinical experience, they teach with a cooperating/master teacher in the classroom for the entire school day and teach only courses in their teaching major. At the beginning of the clinical experience they teach only two or three classes a day; the second quarter of the experience they teach the entire day. Student teachers experience adolescents at various grade levels, cultures, language and socioeconomic backgrounds during their supervised teaching.
Throughout these clinical experiences the student teacher receives feedback, both oral and written, from the cooperating/master teacher as well as from the assigned university supervisor who observes the student teacher teaching at least every other week. Students discuss, reflect and problem solve with other student teachers in seminars that are facilitated by the university supervisor. Additionally, students keep a teaching notebook of their daily lessons and their reflections about the student teaching experience. At the end of the quarter, students select their exemplary lessons to be included in their professional portfolios that are shared with fellow student teachers, their cooperating/master teachers and their school administrators.
