Field Experiences

Apprenticeships 
BLE 496 Field Experience I, II, and III are a part of the pre-service teachers' hands-on experiences in a K-8 classroom each semester before the final student teaching experience. These field experiences range from 4 weeks up to 6 weeks in a school working with a mentor teacher and a CDTE supervisor. These experiences are referred to as apprenticeships.

Student Teaching
In the final semester of the program, pre-service teachers are student teaching for the full semester. Our Student Teaching Handbook identifies all expectations, tasks, and assessment tools. They work with a mentor teacher and a CDTE supervisor and are present in a K-8 classroom from the first day of class in January until the second week in May. During this semester, our CDTE program calls upon the pre-service teacher to begin observing in the first few weeks and move steadily towards full-time student teaching where he or she is in charge of managing all aspects of the children's learning experiences. Near the end of the semester, the pre-service teacher gradually returns full-time responsibilites to the mentor teacher and once again takes on a participatory observer role.
