AETE546 Student Teaching Practicum 6cr

As part of the final semester, students will focus on the practice of teaching as a student teacher intern at a school site under the guidance of a certified teacher called the supervising practitioner. A MassArt instructor will teach the seminar class at MassArt and also serve as the program supervisor by observing the student teacher intern at the school location at
least four or more times throughout the semester.

Students in the practicum are required to complete the following based on the appropriate standards for course grading at MassArt and for the MA Department of Education Practicum Form and Preservice Performance Assessment documenting
their summative assessment by using sources of evidence, as designated in the DOE Guidelines of
August 2004. The student teacher intern is expected to complete approximately a twelve week practicum at the school site. It is expected that the student teacher intern will meet the guidelines as outlined in the Student TeachingInternship Practicum Handbook.
