The primary purpose of this course is to provide English, Secondary Certification pre-service teachers with ongoing opportunities to connect the evidence-based teaching methodologies they learn in EDU 422, to practical, hands-on, teaching conducted in real classrooms. This guided field course will structure opportunities for students to practice the Stage 3 field competencies outlined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and required for professional teaching certification. Students enrolled in the course will collaborate with experienced ELA teachers and higher education faculty in a variety of school settings in order to: conduct evidence-based research, write and implement effective ELA curriculum for adolescent learners, foster respectful, differentiated and antibiased learning environments, design formative and summative assessments that accurately measure student learning, connect and communicate with students, cooperating teachers, school administration, and community members, and finally, reflect critically on their observations in relation to student learning. Students enrolled in this course must also be enrolled in EDU 422. Assignments in this course will focus on completing field-based activities related to language arts education at the secondary level, such as directly engaging in instruction, conducting field-based research, and developing a professional teaching portfolio, linked to PDE, INTASC and NCTE Standards for the initial preparation of English language arts teachers, 7-12. This class is available for graduate credit.
