Fieldwork Seminar II is the second of a two-part yearlong seminar. The seminar provides the place for the elementary cohort to come together as a cohesive group. As a group, the teacher candidates will explore topics in elementary education as they emerge in their elementary grade field placement. Course topics will include an introductory survey of the motivation to become an elementary school teacher, changes elementary students face, and strategies to address students’ diverse needs. Cohort members will develop reflective practitioner skills in a culturally responsive setting. Includes weekly fieldwork.

Prerequisite: EDC451 and admission to the combined undergraduate/graduate licensure program.
