This is a pre-student teaching field experience and seminar for secondary education and world languages majors that is taken in the same semester with a discipline-specific methods class. The course takes place in 7th-12th grade classrooms and in seminars with university supervisors where students apply, extend, and reflect on concepts, questions, theories, and models of teaching studied in the university-based methods courses. Throughout the semester, students are engaged in weekly sessions on the university campus providing instructional support on professional behavior, ethics, school culture, time management, motivation, portfolio development, lesson planning, writing objectives, questioning techniques, formative and summative assessments, instructional strategies, differentiated instruction, and classroom management.
