SPED 361 - Apprenticeship for Teaching (Field Experience II)

In this field experience, special education teacher candidates will be placed in two classroom settings across two levels (elementary , middle, or secondary) for students with mild to moderate learning, intellectual and emotional disabilities. Teacher candidates will gradually assume more active teacher roles and responsibilities from tutoring, to working with small groups, to whole class instruction and management. Instructional activities will be planned, implemented and assessed based on individual learning needs of the classroom (IEP and assessment data) and the state ADEPT guidelines. Positive behavior supports and transition strategies will be researched and implemented.
