SEE 481 Stud Tchg Sem: ECE/Spec ED

This is a required course for all Early Childhood Education/Special Education majors who are enrolled in student teaching. The seminar deals with issues relevant to the teaching profession, particularly inclusive settings. Topics are selected to support and complement the student teaching experience. It is a pass/fail course, which allows opportunities for the student teacher to come together with colleagues and the instructor to discuss issues that relate to teaching as a profession, in general, as well as those that relate to individual classroom situations. This course gives prospective teachers an opportunity to reflect critically on the profession and their role in the classroom, to explore alternatives, to consider consequences (intended and unintended) of various classroom actions, and to begin to assume responsibility for their own continuing professional development. Only open to students who have met requirements for SEE 492. Students must register for SEE 482 and SEE 492 concurrently. Fall, Spring.
