EDEC 430 Early Childhood Student Teaching

Student teachers in elementary schools work with teachers and children in professional activities. They take on interesting obligations for planning, implementing, assessing and reflecting on units of instruction for a diverse population. They are also expected to demonstrate effective leadership skills. Full semester of supervised field-based work is required. Only the required concurrent courses may be taken during student teaching. CT law requires fingerprinting and a criminal background check for the field experiences in this class. Fingerprinting must be completed prior to the beginning of Student Teaching.
