ARED 475 - Baccalaureate Residency and Seminar II


Description
During this culminating, clinical residency experience, the teacher resident is placed by the director of clinical practices and school partnerships in an assigned, accredited public school site. Close collaboration between the resident and mentor teacher will occur in a variety of ways, including the resident taking the role of lead teacher. The resident will assume responsibility for all functions of the classroom, including overall design and implementation of instruction and assessment in all curricular areas, maintenance of a productive classroom environment tailored to the needs of diverse learners, communication with colleagues and families, and use of specific instructional strategies for identified needs, and the teacher residents evaluate these practices in light of class and individual academic achievement. The course also offers a series of seminars and workshops on topics that are pertinent to the needs of all teacher residents and a forum for residents to examine contemporary educational issues and concerns. The focus is on enhancing the resident’s knowledge of the many factors that impact effective classroom practice (instructional technology use, career education, ethics and professionalism, safe environment issues, and the certification process). Residents will post information required from each professional development opportunity in their professional portfolio. The teacher resident is an active participant in the P-12 school community through close observation of the mentor teacher, collaborative practice with the mentor teacher, and/or supervised independent practice. The resident engages in all areas of effective teaching.
