EDU 4900 - Practicum - Moderate DisabilitiesCredits: 12
The culminating experience for the teacher preparation program is a 450 hour field based practicum and co-requisite seminar. During the practicum, teacher candidates (TC) must successfully complete the Candidate Assessment of Performance process (CAP) in order to complete the teacher preparation program. The CAP assesses a TC’s readiness in relation to the Professional Standards for Teachers (PSTs). CAP parallels the Massachusetts Educator Evaluation system in order to better prepare TCs and ensure that they are ready to be effective on day one. It measures the TC’s practice across a range of key indicators as outlined in the Guidelines for the Professional Standards for Teacher and supports them in improving their practice based on the results. Teachers of Students with Moderate Disabilities (for PreK-8) are required to complete 450 hours in an inclusive general education setting or 112 hours in an inclusive general education setting and 338 hours in a separate or substantially separate setting for students with moderate disabilities.
