One of my goals for you this semester is that you become familiar with the Lindenwood School of Education and what you can expect over the next 4 years of your life. In order to do this, you need to be very familiar with the Lindenwood website, and in particular, the School of Education section of the website.
The following link should take you to the School of Education section of the website.
http://www.lindenwood.edu/academics/education/
Please browse the site and find something new that you either didn't know before or that you didn't know was on the website. You only have to post one reply this week. It is not necessary that you reply to a classmate. HOWEVER, you must find something on the website that is different than what the previous posts have indicated.
Here are a few things to remember while you are looking for information:
1. It must be related to either Education or your Secondary Field of Study.
2. It can be a form you found on the Guide to Undergraduate Teacher Education, but you must specify what the form is about and when you would use it.
3. It can be something about Student Teaching, but be specific about what you learned.
4. It can be something about Foliotek, but be specific about what you learned.
5. It can be something about CBASE or Praxis, but be specific about what you learned.
6. You will not submit information about a form that another student has already posted.
7. There should be no repeat answers because there are 58 pages in the Guide to Undergraduate Teacher Education. You can access this Guide by clicking the Teacher Education link on the right hand side of the Education page. It is below "Student Teaching" and above "Faculty". Once you have clicked "Teacher Education" scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "Teacher Education - Download resources" Click the Guide to Undergraduate Teacher Education. You will find sooooooooooo much information there.
See you guys next week!

ReplyDeleteThis link it to the Student Teaching application and I was really surprised at the amount of info that you turn in during the application process. I also did not know that you need a TB test and also that the applications had to be done in 4's along with your philosophy of education.
I just recently finished Psychology of Teaching and Learning and had to complete 2 of Missouri's Standards. I didnt realize that I was goin to have to complete 11 different standards for my portfolio. I think they give me a better understanding of the specific topics.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see a Code of Ethics on the School of Education website. Instead of having to find everything in different parts of the website, it is all there. For example, if you need to find out how you need to dress, how to act appropriately, or what activities you need to fulfill to teach, it is all there.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know for student teaching there was so much prior to being able to student teach. For example, I was surprised to see that you need to fill out an in depth application.
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of requirements and regulations to being a student teacher, even after a lenghty application process, once that is complete there are certain expectations and quidelines a student teacher must follow. The list went on, and...on. Anyway, these expectations i am talking about to be more specific are as follows: a. follow rules and policies of the school inwhich the student is student teaching, b. Have respect for the teachers and the administration, c. maintain a clean, neat appearance, d. abide by all patterns of conduct expected of professional personel, e. carry a professional attitude with the respect to confidential information, f. display behavior that is prompt, curtious, and dependable,...etc. There is more, its common sense that you(a person) would already assume those responsibilities, i just didn't know they had so many, in such great detail.
ReplyDeleteI have already had to complete two of Missouri's Standards also and I was surprised to find examples and guidelines for how that was done on the website, which would have been really useful to know before doing the Missouri Standard's.
ReplyDeleteI liked the "Opportunities to Broaden Educational Experiences". It offered some great insight on how to extend and represent a lot of experience on my resume in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI was suprised to see the application to student teach. I guess i was just thinking that your teacher put you in a class and there you go. but to see ti whole application process makes a little more sence but also is a lot
ReplyDeleteI knew that you had to be accepted into the Education program. I did not know that in order to be accapted you had tohave completed 15 hours of Education courses and have a 2.5 GPA and h ave gotten at least a 235 on the CBase. That is a lot!
ReplyDeletei found out that there is a cbase offered for principals, superintendents, and addmistrators. i found this surpriseing because i didnt know you had to be certified to be one of those i always just thought it was a promotion.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that if a student wants to be certified in a state other than Missouri he/she needs to find out that particular states requirements. I also didn't know that the library has a book of requirements for certificates.
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that grading is so much about being fair and assessing the same way for every student, yet your pre-service teacher candidate disposition assessment instrument is very much up to the opinion of the instructor. To one person you might be ready to be a great teacher, and to another person you might not even be close.
ReplyDeleteThe university degree does not serve as a license to teach! ...really?
ReplyDelete"Upon passing the state-mandated exit assessment and successfully completing the planned degree program, each student applies for certification to teach in Missouri."
I guess the state-mandated exit assesment for Missouri is the Praxis II???
As I was looking at the Student Teacher Handbook, I realized that there are many standards to complete. But I rather know the standards fully, then be lost and not able to give future students complete knowledge over an course.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at the application for teaching along with almost everyone else in the class I really had no idea how much was required to become a student teacher. Not only do we have to take all these tests and pass them but it is also required..." 4 copies of Philosophy of Teaching paper, 4 copies of student teaching application, 2 letters of recommendation...etc etc" There's alot to be done before you actually become a teacher. I hope in the end I fit the bill to become a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a guide to undergraduate teacher education that would tell you everything you needed to know about how to get into the program and the requirements for the program and anything else you would need to be a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI will start by saying that I am very happy to be introduced to this guide. I feel like I have so many unanswered questions, and now a place to look. I was unaware that "Students will be required to develop reflective statements for each of these 42 performance indicators." We have to write them in essay form with a reflection and rationale...it really seems like alot...but it will all be worth it.
