L12 Educ 4053Early Field Experience1.0 Unit
Description:This course offers students an informed look at schooling in America and is designed for current teachers, prospective teachers (those considering a Teacher Education major), and for those simply interested in furthering their understanding of classroom interaction and the fundamental principles of teaching and learning. Students will be able to plan lessons and activities that address student's prior experiences, multiple intelligences, strengths, and needs to positively impact learning. This course provides direct and indirect experiences with contemporary K-12 educational practice in schools through 30 clock hours of field observation to be completed during the semester. Students will observe the daily life of teachers and their interactions with children and adolescents, with the dual goal of understanding the professional nature of the setting (i.e. pedagogical decision-making processes, expectations and requirements for teachers, institutional functioning, etc.) and being an active participant in a K12 classroom setting. Assignments will include, but are not limited to, observation notes, discussions with class members, and evaluation and design of instructional strategies and learning activities. Prerequisite: Completion of any 1000, 2000, or 3000-level Education course, graduate standing, or permission of instructor. Enrollment Note: All students are enrolled onto the waitlist. Priority is given to Teacher Education majors, prospective Teacher Education majors, and majors/minors in Educational Studies. Students must complete their 30 clock hours outside of class in school settings assigned by the WUSTL Department of Education Field Placement Specialist. Undergraduate students must enroll in Educ. 4053 and graduate students must enroll in Educ. 6053

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
