EDU 4630 - Integrated Elementary Methods Practicum: Intention, Knowledge & Presence


Credit(s): 6

This course provides elementary classroom teacher candidates with an integrated experience of teaching and study resulting in working knowledge of elementary school curriculum, pedagogy and policies. Work done for seminar-style class sessions is integrated with candidates’ student teaching experience and builds on daily observations and direct work with teachers and children at the elementary level. Readings and activities cover overarching ideas about learning and learners, lesson planning, classroom management, assessment and current research, initiative and policy. Seminars focus on methods and materials needed to teach literacy, mathematics, social studies and science, but emphasis is also placed on integrating academic disciplines with the arts, physical education, technology, experiential learning and thematic units. Instruction occurs in once-a-week seminars that are held in NVU-Johnson’s “partner schools.”
