TED-2950 - Practicum in Teacher Education (1)

Prerequisite: 45 credits towards the degree
The practicum is an early field experience that requires students to complete a minimum of 45 hours of observation and participation in an assigned Maryland public school classroom in the grade band that aligns with their degree program:

Early Childhood Education Grades PK-3
Elementary Education Grades 1-6
Secondary Education Grades 7-12.

Students work under the guidance and supervision of an assigned mentor teacher and college faculty. They complete tasks in support of classroom teaching as are permitted by the policies of the school system. Course assignments are submitted online. Grades are determined by college faculty.

Practicum students must provide their own transportation to and from the assigned public school site. Practicum students must pass a background check as required by the public school system in which they are placed in order to complete this course. Any fees or costs associated with the required background check process are the responsibility of the student.

This course requires a granted petition. Please contact the Teacher Education Program Coordinator for permission to enroll.
