Students complete a minimum of 20 days, or 100 hours, teaching students in a mid­dle school (grades 7 through 9) mathemat­ics classroom under the daily supervision and mentorship of an experienced and cer­tified cooperating mathematics teacher. During this practicum experience the stu­dent teacher progresses from watching and helping the regular classroom teacher to taking on full responsibility for the class him- or herself. The practicum, under the supervision and guidance of the cooperat­ing teacher, includes experience in: de­signing, developing and implementing daily lesson plans; creating quizzes and exams; designing and grading homework assignments; implementing classroom dis­cipline; continuously evaluating student understanding and using daily evaluations to modify future teaching practices; em­ploying effective ways to carry out routine administrative practices including the tak­ing of attendance and assigning student grades.\nThe cooperating teacher meets with the student teacher on a regular basis to help the student teacher develop his/her skills and practices; helps answer or find answers to questions the student teacher might have; and remains in the classroom to monitor all activities and to provide super­vision whenever the student teacher takes over the class. A full time faculty supervi­sor from Touro’s Graduate School of Edu­cation meets with both the student teacher and the cooperating teacher on a regular basis, observes the student teacher’s per­formance in the classroom, and discusses the student teacher’s development with both the student teacher and cooperating teacher.\nAt the end of the semester the cooper­ating teacher submits to the Touro College faculty supervisor an evaluation form for the student teacher indicating areas of strength and weakness and where the stu­dent teacher should concentrate on im­proving his or her teaching skills. Using this evaluation and the Touro College fac­ulty supervisor’s own observations, the fac­ulty supervisor then submits a grade for the student teacher’s performance in this course. Prerequisite: MTHE 601. (Pleasenote: This course must be taken during thefinal two semesters of the program.)
