SED 490 - Student Teaching in Special Education
Student teachers participate in a variety of experiences in a school setting while working under the supervision of a certified special education teacher. The student teacher works primarily with children who have mild to moderate disabilities, though the setting may differ from placement to placement, including self-contained, resource and general education inclusive settings. Student teachers expand and refine their knowledge and skills related to the Maine Initial Teacher Certification Standards as they apply, in particular, to students with mild to moderate disabilities and increase their responsibilities over time, with a minimum of two weeks’ full-time teaching in the role of special education teacher. Student teachers participate in an orientation and bi-weekly seminars during their student teaching experience, and develop an electronic portfolio through their time in the field. The student teacher must demonstrate evidence of attainment of the Maine Initial Teacher Certification Standards through the portfolio and portfolio defense.
Prerequisites: Applicants to student teach must be matriculated into a degree or certification program; applications must be approved by the Student Teaching Committee during the semester prior to anticipated student teaching experience. Other factors considered by the
