Professional Seminar

Supports teacher candidates in the practicum components of the program. The classes are distributed throughout the duration of the program to coincide with the three practicum placements. The seminar and the practica work together to provide an overview of key issues and skills related to curriculum, teaching, and learning and to provide the opportunity to integrate theory and practice. The course includes scheduled classes before and after each practicum which incorporate opportunities to meet with faculty advisors. Teacher candidates are encouraged to think of the Professional Seminar as an apprenticeship in professional knowledge and practice development.
