  1. Session 4TED Curriculum TED 100 Education SeminarTED 190 Ed Seminar FieldDr. Steve Broskoske

  2. Letters MU “Away” Team • Receive your letter of request and clearances today. “Home” Team • A letter of request with clearances will be sent tomorrow. Check placement info. • Both Teams • Contact your school to make arrangements to attend. (Home team: allow some time for the letter to be received.)

  3. Clearances/changes? • Have clearances? • School districts require a copy of clearances for you to enter a school for field experience. • You will need clearances during advisement in order to sign up for future fields. • Any changes in field location? • E-mail Dr. Steve with any changes.

  4. If You Do Not Have Clearances • If you are missing one clearance, you may be accepted to a field placement. Just carry the clearance with you. • If you have not applied for clearances, you may need to schedule the field placement later in the semester. Worst Case Scenario: Take a “U” in course this semester, and have the grade changed when you complete the field placement.

  22. Fields Tied to Courses • Fields are “tied” to specific courses (like labs are in the sciences). • Fields focus on content covered in the accompanying course.

  23. What Is Field Experience? • TED students complete a developmental series of field experiences that culminate with a full semester of Student Teaching. • Fields link theory and practice. Link

  24. Purpose of Field Experience • Purpose of your TED courses: • Prepare you in theory, knowledge, and simulation to be a teacher. • Purpose of field work is to: • Prepare you to be a teacher with practical experience in the classroom. • Help you link theory and practice. • Get you ready for the real world of teaching.

Cultural Awareness • Sophomore year: • Sophomore Field I & II (30 hrs. each) • Junior year: • Practicum I & II (50 hrs. each) • Senior year: • Practicum III (50 hrs.) • Student Teaching (9 credits) Accompanying course depends on major.

Scheduling Field Experience • Location of placements: • For some fields, you get to choose where you go (district, building, grade, teacher). • For some fields, all students are sent to a particular location. • Scheduling of field experience: • Some fields are arranged at set times and days. • For some fields, you get to arrange certain aspects of scheduling.
