EDU 460 - Student Teaching and Seminar in Secondary/Middle Education

Following a school’s schedule and working with classroom teachers, their students and other school personnel, student teachers increase their responsibilities over time. The target is to assume a full teaching load including all of the non-teaching duties. Students participate in a weekly seminar during their student teaching experience.
