Course Requirements Checklist

Discussion (1)

Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the candidate is required to provide a thread in response to the provided prompt for each discussion. Each thread must be 200 words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. The thread must support assertions with at least 2 citations from the required reading and/or presentation sources assigned. In addition to the thread, the candidate is required to reply to 2 classmates’ threads. Each reply must be 100 words and cite at least 1 source from the reading or presentation. (CLO: A)

Journal Entry and Weekly Log Assignments (7)

The candidate will submit a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry summarizing the week at school. The candidate’s entries should reflect personal experiences about what was learned and what challenges were faced while also responding to a prompt. Weekly hours will be logged and also recorded in LiveText. 

During select weeks, the FEM will be checked for the recording of hours. The candidate must input his/her direct and indirect hours in the “View Placement Details” in the FEM; the onsite mentor must then approve those hours. (CLO: B)

Weekly Schedule and Lesson Plan Assignments (4)

The candidate will submit weekly schedules for his/her placement each Monday prior to the week the schedule will be used. Additionally, the candidate will submit lesson plans each Monday prior to the week the lessons are to be taught.

After completing the 5 detailed lesson plans for a core subject area, the candidate can use block lesson plans for the subsequent lessons. The differences between completing the 2 kinds and further guidelines are outlined in the course. (CLO: C, D, E)
