Elementary and Faculty Childhood Education majors participate in
extensive field experiences in neighboring schools. During the Introductory Course Block, they observe and
assist in
the schools for 8 days. Foundations Block requires that they increase their involvement in teaching individual
lessons
though 8 days in the schools. Students in Professional Block spend 18 days in the schools, serving as the
teacher of
the class for at least one full day by the end of the experience. In the Student Teaching Block,
teacher-candidates
teach in two different grades, each for half of a semester. By the end of each of the Student Teaching assignments, they teach for a full week as the teacher-in-charge. In addition to these core field experiences, many individual courses outside of the Blocks require a more modified field experience.
