1 credit(s) This course is the continuation of EDUC 503. It accompanies EDUC 552, Teaching Internship/Residency II. Building on the first semester, the focus is to develop pre-service teachers’ critical thinking and human interaction skills in terms of problem solving classroom and school related issues. In a safe space, we aim to develop pre-service teachers’ knowledge and skills around social emotional learning of their students and build skills and practices around their own personal emotional intelligence. This course also includes building professional dispositions as foundational for a successful teaching career. This course has a career services component as well. In part two of this course, the students will develop their final program assessment called the Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA). Students will have some class time to develop their ePortfolio, conference with peers and the instructor while synthesizing the NYSED Culturally Responsive Sustaining Education Framework with their internship evaluation tool and the NYSED Teaching Standards.
