    Description
    This course provides students an opportunity to explore the field of K-8 teaching and the career of teaching. The requirements and education required to attain a teaching credential will be examined. It includes a supervised structured field placement of three hours weekly (minimum of 45 hours per semester) in a local public elementary school with a college-approved certificated teacher. The weekly class meetings focus on the profession of teaching, career selection, children's developmental domains and influences on development such as family, community, race, and culture. The students will practice and develop teaching skills in observation, communication, and cultural competency. Students' field experiences will integrate and apply the course content.
