EDU 178B Supervised Teaching: Pre-Service Special Education

Fall or Spring at MSMU approved site. (Additional fieldwork fee of $150) Supervised teaching is designed as the culminating experience in the teacher preparation program and provides opportunities for the candidate to integrate and refine the many competencies acquired throughout the program. The goal of supervised teaching is to ensure that the candidate is prepared to assume the full-time responsibilities of a classroom. In EDU 178B, the student assumes the responsibilities of the classroom teacher and is under the direct supervision of an experienced and effective teacher and a college supervisor (see Option I Supervised Teaching). The supervised teaching involves one-half of the semester in a special education setting for students with mild/moderate disabilities. Students register for EDU 178B for the second assignment. Full-time student teaching is required along with participation in the seminar (EDU 110). The student must have access to daily transportation to the fieldwork site.
