Class Schedule:March 30 – May 3 at various middle (or perhaps) high schools. (May 4th –10th, back on campus) Your assigned school may begin classes as early as 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. each day and/or may have classes until 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. It is essential that you clear your daily schedule until at least 2:00 pm (or possibly 4:00 p.m.) during the weeks of field experience. Your field experience schedule takes priority over another class, job, or activity. Remember to take travel time into account as well. You will be in your assigned school M-F, for at least 3 hours each day, generally 4 or more. Keep in mind that your schedule will correspond to your cooperating teacher’s schedule in terms of classes, planning period, lunch, hall duty, bus duty, parent conferences, staff development and faculty meetings, etc. The more experiences you allow yourself to have in your school during TOSS, the better prepared you will be for student teaching and for “real” teaching. You are encouraged to get to the school as early as you can and stay as long as you can. Follow the holiday schedule of your school. When KSU is in session but your field school is not, you may be asked to return to campus during those days for class or other activities.IV. HIED 4414 Field Experience Description and Purpose:The primary purpose of this pre-student teaching field experience is to provide students with an opportunityto develop skills in planning, implementing, and evaluating instruction in a secondary social studies classroom1setting under the direction of a master teacher. In addition, it provides a bridge between course preparation andstudent teaching. It is also designed to help students develop adequate entry-levels of competence in the applicationof specific skills and to identify the areas of knowledge and skill they will need to develop further during the studentteaching experience.V. Student’s Responsibilities:In a nutshell, your job is to work hard, listen to your cooperating teacher and college supervisors, and do all you can to become a good teacher.During the field experience, you are expected to assume full responsibility for planning, teaching, and evaluating a unit of instruction in each class to which you have been assigned. The sequence, number, length, content, methods, and other characteristics of the lessons comprising the unit must be consistent with the characteristics of the pupils, the subject matter being taught, and the instructional goals established by the cooperating teacher. After teaching each lesson, complete a brief written analysis of your teaching effectiveness andprepare to respond to feedback from the cooperating teacher. When not actually teaching, assist the cooperating teacher in implementing instructional and administrative tasks and complete your observations of the classes in preparation for the successful assumption of full teaching duties. At the end of each week, you are responsible for emailing to the college supervisor a copy of the cooperating teacher's short weekly evaluation and a schedule of teaching activities for the next week. You will also assemble a field experience portfolio, an extensive document that you will develop throughout the semester. It is to be turned in at the time of your end-of-course conference. Those who put off getting this portfolio together are unlikely to be able to do it in the last few days. Stay on top of this!Please be mindful that a student teacher must adhere to all of the school’s rules and regulations and must exhibit the highest standards of professional conduct at all times and in all relations with pupils, teachers, staff, administrators, supervisors and other members of the school community. Punctuality and excellent attendance are essential elements of professionalism and are mandatory. You should not miss a single class while you are in the field. If you are ill, go to school, and let the cooperating teacher send you home. If you have children, make arrangements now to have them taken care of if they are sick. If you do have to miss a class, contact your University supervisor and your cooperating teacher (or, if necessary, the school secretary) immediately. You must make up any hours (or days) that you miss.VI.
