EDSE 4917 - Extensive Support Needs (ESN) Fieldwork Practicum (Repeat)

3-6 unit(s)

(Formerly Moderate/Severe Disabilities Student Teaching: R) Course is designed to provide field experience for candidates for the Education Specialist Credential program who were unsuccessful in their first ESN Fieldwork placement/s. While enrolled in this eight- or sixteen-week repeated Fieldwork Practicum (dependent upon how much of the first placement was successfully completed), students will participate in a student teaching experience under the supervision of a mentor teacher and a University supervisor. Students will report directly to the school of assignment at the opening of the school day and remain at the site until all professional duties are completed at the end of the day five days per week, but in no case shall leave the school site prior to the legal dismissal time for teachers employed at the school. During this Fieldwork Practicum, candidates will be expected to teach subjects during the eight-week placement. Students will have two weeks of teaching all subjects under the supervision of the mentor teacher (guided solo) and two weeks where they teach all subjects on their own (solo teaching) with occasional visits by the mentor teacher and University supervisor. The student teacher will be required to assume all the duties of a classroom teacher including lesson planning, lesson presentation, student assessment, curriculum planning, and classroom management for all subjects. Furthermore, the student teacher will complete all adjunct duties of a teacher included, but not limited to, yard duty, daily attendance, parent conferences, back to school/open house, etc.

Prerequisites: Enrollment in the ESCP and have met all requirements to Student Teach or be a Teacher of Record.
