Teaching Credentials: Two Semester Block

Multiple Subject Credential Full-Time Block


The coursework required in the first semester of the program normally entails an all-day commitment from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The division of the day between university classes and fieldwork in public schools varies according to specific blocks. Students must also reserve adequate time (at least fifteen hours per week) outside the daily 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. schedule to complete textbook readings and other learning tasks assigned by their university instructors. Student teaching is, of course, an all-day, five days per week, experience.

The first semester provides an opportunity for the candidate to gain essential knowledge about the nature of children, the elementary school curriculum, elementary school instructional materials, and effective teaching strategies from university classroom instruction. Concurrently, the student experiences the realities of the elementary school classroom through supervised fieldwork and student teaching.
