TEACHING The following sections describe a framework for your progress during student teaching. The Overview: design is intended to focus on skills learned during the academic phase of the program and to integrate the knowledge and skills into classroom practices. Each of the weeks, and its characteristics, is described in detail in the following sections. Total Length of Student Teaching Student teaching for all B.ED. programs is a full academic semester, and includes a mandatory Orientation Seminar (2 hours), in which all mentor teachers and college supervisors are expected to participate. Student teachers must also attend 18 hours of Seminar at the beginning of the semester before the classroom experience. These 18 hours prepare you for your classroom experience and provide you with forms and information necessary for the student teaching. The classroom experience is determined to be 300 hours, most likely completed over 10 weeks. If it is determined that you will benefit from more time in the classroom, the time will be extended. The timelines in each section describe your activities in more detail. During the 10 with your mentor teacher, you will also meet once each week for 2 hours (20 hours) in seminar. The final session of the seminar will address the completion of the student teaching, including your electronic portfolio, and turning in all required assignments and forms, as well as mentor and supervisor evaluations. The total number of hours for student teaching is the following: 2-hour Orientation, 18 hours of seminar before supervision begins, 300 hours of student teaching, and 20 hours of seminar during supervision for a total of 340 contact hours.
