ED 590P - Student Teaching

Note: Participants will develop, deliver, record and analyze lesson plans, keep a daily log and weekly reflective journal, accumulate appropriate artifacts and periodically record their performance by video, using INTASC (Interstate New Teachers Support Consortium) core standards. Regular conferences between the student candidate, the classroom teacher and the course faculty member will be held.  Students should contact their advisers and the Program Director to initiate the registration procedure for the course.  This is normally a 12 credit hour course, but ED 590P can be adapted to meet the requirements of the state in which the student seeks certification upon discussion with the Program Director.  The on-site mentor must be a certified teacher with three or more years experience in the same content area.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though ED 590P is a 12-credit course, it will only satisfy one of the elective course requirements if taken as part of a degree program. Further information and clarification can be obtained from an admissions’ counselor or advisor.

Prerequisites & Notes

1. Praxis I at a score deemed passing in the state of certification (or Maine’s score if state of certification does not require Praxis I)
2. Appropriate Praxis II “PLT” at a score deemed passing in the state of certification (or Maine’s score if state of certification does not require Praxis II)
3. Transcripts of required content courses at the credit level required by the certifying state (in Maine, 24 credits) – in rare cases the Praxis II Content Area exam may substitute for this requirement upon petition of the MSEd Program Director
4. State authorized fingerprint and background checks (if not required in state of certification then to the level necessary to satisfy the requirements in Maine for certification)
5. For matriculated MSEd students, one of the final courses of the master’s degree program (must also have successfully passed ED 512 and ED 523 or equivalent courses)
6. For non-matriculated students, a transcript analysis by State Certification Department of the state where the student is seeking certification confirming all required courses have been successfully completed for certification except for Student Teaching
