ATE 586 In-service Field Placement

This full-time or half-time placement in a middle- or high-school setting is arranged by the student in consultation with the College Applied Technology Education faculty advisor and the school district within which the student is employed. Forty hours of the two placements combine to include field observations. School districts contract with students to teach classes in their own classrooms on a paid basis. A supervisor employed by The College of Saint Rose meets with the in-service teacher to provide support and consultation at least five times for a half-time placement(3 credits) or 10 times for a full-time placement (6 credits). Supervision will include observations of in-service teacher performance and periodic assessments of teaching effectiveness. A course syllabus must be devised with the cooperation and approval of the College Applied Technology Education faculty advisor prior to registration for the course. Applications for an in-service field placement must be made by March 1 for Fall registration, or by November 1 for Spring registration. Students must also register for ATE 590 Applied Technology Education Seminar during one semester that they take ATE 586. The option of taking ATE 586 is available to students whose employing schools are able to provide support and supervision in collaboration with the College; the intent of this offering is to give the new teacher adequate support in the first months of teaching. ATE 590 must be taken as a co-requisite with ATE 586. Fall, Spring.
