Students will initiate the development of a reflective practitioner workbook, begin their electronic professional portfolio, and learn about their own learning needs and styles. Learning outcomes are aligned to the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and associated teacher performance expectations. In addition to class time, this course requires ten hours of arranged fieldwork in public school classrooms that represent California's diverse student population and includes cooperation with at least one campus-approved certificated classroom teacher.
