EDU 6195A - Intern Teaching Seminar

(3 units)

The “Semester 2 Seminar & Workshop Series” course provides Candidates with opportunities to develop their capacity to increase K-12 student learning and achievement. Candidates participate in ten three hour seminars and two Saturday Workshop Days. They receive practical instruction on research-based best practices, application to the K-12 classroom, and further exploration of both theory and practice through course readings. Saturday Workshop Days provide hands-on opportunities to focus on a topic. Saturday Workshop Day 1 provides training on how to create a supportive, healthy environment for student learning, while Saturday Workshop Day 2 is about instructional best practices. Both bridge how to apply the theories learned throughout the semester to results-achieving teaching.

Note that while Candidates also receive regular mentoring from university Field Supervisors throughout Semester 2 as part of their co-requisite enrollment in the Field Supervision course, the mentoring receives a separate grade which focuses on the Candidate’s practice, capacity, and growth in the field at a school setting.
