This course is designed to develop competencies relative to program planning instruction, daily schedule, record keeping, evaluation, classroom management, reporting to parents, professional organizations, and teacher ethics. Students spend a minimum of sixty (60) school-based hours in the middle school (grades 6-8) ELA classroom or a setting pre-approved by the Office of School Partnerships (OSP).
