ED475 Senior Student Teaching & Portfolio
This weekly seminar brings student teachers together as a cohort, providing continuing support for successful completion of the student teaching experience. Learning activities feature self-reflection, peer interactions, and responses to presentations by faculty and guest speakers. Topics for discussion include: strategies for working with parents, families, colleagues and administrators; school law; professional responsibility with regard to child abuse, substance abuse prevention, bullying, intimidation, and harassment; resume writing; and senior portfolio preparation. A senior portfolio based on coursework and field experience artifacts will be presented in both oral and written form to the Teacher Education Faculty during the student teaching semester. Ed 475 is taken concurrently with Ed 467.
