Undergraduate catalogue

TPP 404 is taken concurrently with TPP 403 and is a 175-hour, 12-week assignment as a student teacher in a local middle or high school. Students work closely with a host teacher for approximately 20 clinical hours per week, and the experience culminates with the design and delivery of a small unit of instruction. Assignments include research on the classroom and school context, instructional unit and lesson planning, and an analysis and reflection of the unit of instruction taught in the final weeks of the semester. The course carries two units of course credit and is typically taken during the spring of senior year.
