DIRECTED TEACHING
During the Directed Teaching semester, the responsibilities of a professional teacher are experienced first-hand at extended placements in school settings.This includes experiences in urban, suburban, and rural settings providing diverse perspectives and spaces to negotiate as student develop professional practice. This practicum involves a broad spectrum of experiences, including a combination of observation, small group work, and eventual whole class instruction. Because the Visual Arts (LQ) Endorsement certifies a teacher for K-12 instruction, placements are made for candidates at two sites, one in an Elementary setting and one in the Secondary setting.
