Reflective Practice I: Student Teaching Seminar
F05, F06, F07
Elizabeth Burris, Jonathan Pitcher
This seminar, taken in conjunction with students’ yearlong teaching apprenticeship, helps to establish both an ideological and a practical foundation for self-transformation, classroom problem-solving, and smart colleagueship. Through reading, class discussions and various projects related to our individual and collective experiences, we compare, contrast, reflect, and grow together as teachers. The capstone assignment of the seminar is the creation of the Professional Portfolio required for licensure in Vermont. The seminar is open only to students student-teaching in the Center for Creative Teaching program.
