ELE 550 Student Teaching Seminar

This course is designed to provide academic support during the student teaching semester. Topics are selected by the instructor to complement the student teaching experience. Student teachers come together with colleagues and the instructor to discuss issues that relate to teaching as a profession in general, as well as those that relate to individual classroom situations. This course gives prospective teachers an opportunity to reflect critically on their roles in the classroom, to consider consequences (intended and unintended) of various classroom actions, and to begin to assume responsibility for their own continuing professional development. Co-requisites: ELE 545 or ELE 546; ELE 584. Open to Saint Rose majors only. Fall, Spring. (2 credits)
