Student Teaching II in Science for Secondary School (7-12

Student Teaching II is a full time clinically rich student teaching experience that is designed to provide graduates in the secondary education program with school-based classroom experiences that prepare them to effectively student teach at the secondary school level. Students are usually placed at a secondary school setting under the guidance of a school-based teacher, and college-based supervisor. Aspiring teachers will demonstrate an understanding of planning and implementing lessons based on knowledge of subject matter, and how students learn and develop; as well as how to create learning environments which encourage positive social interactions and active participation. In addition, aspiring teachers will demonstrate how to adapt instructional and assessment strategies to the diverse needs, interests, and abilities of learners. It should be noted that Student Teaching II is considered a level III assessment where candidates are required to demonstrate their ability to plan, instruct and assess at a proficient to exemplary level of performance.
