Essential Connections for Educational Leaders

Clinical partnerships and practices are integral to the development of preservice teachers. Students spend time in classrooms with P-12 students in methods classes, sophomore practicum, junior field experience as well as fourteen weeks of student teaching.

Several years ago, the education department re-designed the sophomore practicum for all teacher candidates. All students are immersed in an educational experience at Elder Grove School, which includes 40 hours of classroom work, shadowing a student and preparing a student profile and educational plan for him/her, as well as spending time with certified and classified teachers and staff.
