Course is designed to provide the hands-on experience necessary for preparing students to teach in a preschool K-3 elementary ESL setting. A first year ECE TLS program student will be placed in a preschool which may include Birth - 4 years of age and a second year ECE TLS program student will be placed in a K-3rd grade elementary school classroom. Students participating in this course will work with a cooperating preschool master teacher in the preschool setting and an Arizona certified K-3 cooperating master teacher in their classrooms using an apprenticeship technique. Student teachers' responsibilities will increase during the semester as they meet the minimum requirement of student teaching for 60 days per course. Student teachers will collaborate daily with their cooperating teachers and will be given guidance through observations, meetings, and evaluations by their university supervisors. Students will use their knowledge of early childhood development and apply learning strategies designed for preschool and primary students to provide effective curriculum and instruction. In addition to student teaching, this course offers career preparation through professional development conferences, portfolio development and certification support.
