Full day, full term internship, with field observations in approved child care centers or pre-kindergarten classes. Teacher candidates demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge, skills and dispositions in assessment of authentic classroom situations. Students evaluate the quality of lesson planning and teaching with young children. The required teaching component must be arranged by the student and documented through virtual modes, such as video portfolio, or other methods of internet based presentations. Students in this course demonstrate mastery of program performance standards by analyzing data from class activities and teacher observations. A mastery component culminates in a request justifying the class and teacher for their final practicum experience. Discussion boards, evaluations, reflections, self-assessment tools and video documentation of the candidate teaching a lesson are required.
