Description
The student teaching residency is designed to provide the pre-service teacher with a realistic mentored experience in planning, managing, and teaching in a public-school classroom. The seminar is designed to both enable the intern to integrate theory and practice and to find professional support from peers and faculty. The seminar itself will be process-oriented, with weekly topics determined collaboratively between the instructor and the students. Interns who are employed by a school district on a provisional license will complete the residency in their district-assigned classrooms. Interns who are not employed by a school district will be placed in a classroom with a mentor teacher.
