In this course, students develop skills in assessing pupils and planning and implementing the elementary curriculum, and are provided formative feedback necessary to teach in the full range of domains defined by the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and associated Teacher Performance Expectations (TPEs). This field experience provides the teacher candidate the opportunity to work toward the goal of assuming the full responsibilities of a certificated teacher. Emphasis in this field experience is on general pedagogical skills, such as classroom management and lesson planning in teaching in the areas of reading/language arts, English language development (ELD) and mathematics. This course also provides a context for rehearsal of the Teaching Event of the state-mandated Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA). (Credit/No Credit only)
