Five-year
teacher education program
Clinical Experiences |
| |
Overview
Clinical experiences that provide students hands-on practice
with various aspects of teaching are essential to and at the heart
of the preparation of the next generation of teachers. To build the
knowledge, skillls and dispositions of an effective teacher, students
enrolled in the Benedum Collaborative Model of Teacher Education begin
their clinical experiences early in their programs of study and progress
gradually toward more complex learning assignments within school settings. |

Clinical
Experiences
In the Five-Year Teacher Education Program there are six
sequenced, intense, supported clinical experiences that take place
in the 31 professional development schools (PDSs) associated with
the Benedum Collaborative. By the time a student graduates from this
program, s/he will have spent more than 1000 hours in clinical experiences
in a PDS. |
