Clinical Experience in Education

This 45-hour documented clinical experience allows students considering a career in teaching to observe and interact with children and teachers in classroom settings. Focused on the subject and age category in which the students are planning to teach, the clinical experience is planned, guided, and evaluated by a cooperating teacher and the college instructor using various documented educational assignments. A weekly on-campus seminar explores such topics as effective teaching methods, classroom management techniques, and learning styles, and assists students in assessing their commitment to teaching as a career.

Note: To be approved for placement in the clinical experience, the student is required to pass and pay for a criminal background check. Also, the number of EDU202 Clinical Experience in Education transferable hours will be determined by the transfer institution. Recommended Coreq, EDU200
