Average Course Rating

This course is designed to develop candidates as thinkers and writers as they develop as professionals through course and internship experiences. The course will focus on program pillars including professionalism, wholeness/wellness, and design principles and practices. Candidates will demonstrate professional growth through a series of discussions and reflective essays that provide opportunities to explore critical aspects of what it means to be a teacher preparing for long-term success. The course will serve as a companion piece to the internship experience where candidates will work in public school settings with a great diversity of students. Hosting school sites serve as clinical laboratories where candidates can apply program to plan lessons, implement teaching methods, and develop supportive environments, while being supported by the program’s Whole Teacher Support model that includes educators from both the university and the partnering school system. Throughout the course, candidates will participate in experiences to develop habits and practices that support well-being.
