UEDU 700A - Clinical Observation

0 Credits
Candidates in the College of Urban Education are required to have clinical practicum experiences throughout the program. Candidates’ professional competencies are measured through on-site faculty observations using instruments that assess teaching practice. These instruments describe the observed performance by determining mastery of specific items within rubrics for each performance area. The observations provide candidates knowledge regarding areas of teaching that need to be developed, based on ratings in performance areas. Additionally, the observations provide the framework to guide conversations about methodologies and strategies teachers can use to develop and grow. This course is a required practicum every Fall and Winter semester for the Certificate in Urban Education until all the requirements have been satisfied to be recommended for the State of Michigan Standard Teaching Certificate and for the Master of Urban Education until completion of the program.
