EDC+331

__ EDC 331 Clinical Experiences for Secondary Education I (30 hours minimum) __ For this field experience you will be placed in an exemplary middle school. The emphasis in the practicum is to learn about and experience middle school students and practices, to investigate what role social economic status plays, and to implement and reflect on various forms of assessment. Even though you may not be interested in a middle school extension to your certification, we find it important that you have some experience of early adolescents so that you are more aware about students' needs as they enter the high school. This practicum is taken concurrently with EDC 371 Educational Measurement and, for those who aim to get a middle school extension to their certification, EDC 400 Middle School Curriculum, Assessment, and Methods. // Note: This practicum and the associated courses are offered in the fall only. //
