EDU 593 - Field Experience Practicum-Secondary

Credits: 0
Note Must be taken simultaneously with EDU 580/EDU 581; RDG 532 when taken as part of the BEST program of study.
One field experience per semester will meet the practicum requirement for up to two courses. One goal of the alternative certification program is to integrate theory and best practice. Consequently, a practicum in a Maryland Professional Development School is scheduled to coincide with the courses listed above. Practicums are arranged in conjunction with the Office of Field Placements. This is optimally scheduled as a six hour block each week (one full school day). Assignments for each practicum semester will be reflective of the course requirements for that semester. While there are general objectives for every practicum experience, the primary focus will be determined by the course instructors and reflect the content and objectives of their courses.
