EDU 690 - Practicum

3-6 credits
A seminar held weekly during the teacher candidate experience with members of the education faculty and candidate peers to discuss, compare and analyze challenges, experiences, and difficulties encountered in the classroom; emphasis is also placed on connecting this classroom experience with the teaching profession. The seminar seeks to reinforce, through presentation and discussion, the “strands” of theory and practice that were integrated throughout the teacher education program, connecting those to the Wisconsin State Teacher Standards, and begin the development of the initial Professional Development Plan (PDP). (Must be taken concurrently with EDU 495/EDU 690 or with Director approval.)
