ENG 3151 - Junior Practicum I

This course introduces English/language arts teacher candidates to classroom management techniques, theory and practice, and the assessment of student learning. Candidates will be assigned a mentor who will work with them throughout their matriculation at the university. They will develop a notebook of teaching strategies and assessment methods and instruments, keep a journal reflecting on their mentoring experience, and use their reflections to compose a final paper focusing on the impact of the mentoring experience, particularly as it has prepared them for the methods course and the clinical experience.
