EDU62490 - Clinical Practice IV: Reflection and Professional Responsibility

(1.5 units)

The goal of this course is to engage in reflection of your role as a professional educator. You will analyze and evaluate your skills in planning, instruction, and assessment by applying the Understanding by Design (UbD) Framework. You will continue to analyze formative and summative data and modify instruction to improve student potential in meeting state standards. Throughout this course, you will identify and revise artifacts that demonstrate your levels of proficiency at meeting your state’s teaching standards for your Individual Development Plan (IDP) Portfolio. Candidates on the Intern Teacher Track must have a valid Intern Credential and are operating as a contracted Teacher-of-Record (TOR). Intern & ECO candidates must be assigned a credentialed District Support Provider (in their field of study) by their employer.

The Clinical Practice experience contributes to candidates’ preparation to complete the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) required for credential completion. Education Specialist will be required to complete the TPA with the new implementation of the Mild/Moderate Ed Specialist Standards in 2022/2023.

Clinical Practice field experience hours must be earned, logged, and obtained during the current term of enrollment of the Clinical Practice course.

Intern and ECO candidates must be assigned a District Support Provider with a valid, clear credential (in the same subject or disability area in which the candidate is seeking) as well as a minimum of 3 years of teaching experience.
