EDUC 302 - Practicum II

1 Credits

The second practicum complements the second quarter in the BASTE program. Students explore how to plan instruction, consider advanced concepts in language and literacy and the implications for teaching English language learners, and practice methods for teaching mathematics. The practicum placement gives students an opportunity to connect this material with field observations. The three BAS Teaching practicum courses will incorporate opportunities for students to reflect on the practicum experiences, including the implications for supporting English language learners.
