Hands-On Learning
We have well-established, collaborative partnerships with four regional school districts that will allow you to get immersive teaching and learning opportunities on-site in local classrooms. These experiences will enable you to learn first-hand how to successfully navigate a rapidly changing educational environment and develop teaching practices that engage all learners.
Block Semester
You’ll form tight bonds with your classmates during your “Block” semester, when students enroll as groups of 15 to 25 in a block of five teaching methods courses. You’ll be on-site in area school districts weekly to engage in early field experiences before student teaching. The final semester consists of two student teaching placements, which may be done in various districts throughout New York state.
