Description: This clinical residency requires at least three full, sequential instructional days per week in an assigned accredited public or private elementary classroom. The residency and accompanying seminar include opportunities to synthesize content from all previous coursework, including: professionalism; designing, implementing, and assessing instruction; student motivation and engagement; and collaboration with colleagues and families. The teacher candidate is an active participant in the elementary school community through close observation of the mentor teacher, collaborative practice with the mentor teacher, and/or supervised independent practice. Concepts and skills learned in RDG 4444 are a particular focus in this residency; however, the resident engages in all content areas.
