ECE575A : Field Studies in LBD Component I Part A

This course is the first of two field courses taken in the first 20 hours of the program (taught in fall and spring only). All candidates who are teaching on an LBD Temporary Provisional certificate must take ECE 575A in their first semester. Using Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP) as a model and with the assistance of a mentor teacher and a college supervisor, candidates will develop and teach lesson plans, assess personal professional strengths and needs and develop strategies to pinpoint specific areas in which classroom effectiveness can be improved. Mentored teaching provides information and experiences that address the need for consistent sensitivity to individual, academic, physical, social and cultural differences through demonstration of competencies required by the Kentucky Teacher Standards, the Council for Exceptional Children Standards, and the Georgetown Conceptual Framework. Candidates will be in their LBD classroom or an LBD approved placement for at least 100 hours. This course is offered fall and spring semesters only.
