Description
During this sequence of courses which
spans the school year, apprentices participate
in at least two, and typically three grade level
placements including public, private, urban
and suburban settings. Apprentices work
extensively in classrooms with thematic and
subject integrated curriculum designs, and are
assigned to a curriculum mentor team representing
the subject in which licensure is
sought. A variety of instructional strategies
are used to incorporate differing student
approaches to learning. Instructional strategies
for developing critical thinking, problem solving,
and performance skills are practiced.
Planning and management of instruction is
strongly guided by knowledge of the content
areas to be taught.
