Clinical Practice and Experience

Clinical placement application overview

Students who have met the requirements to be admitted into the Education Department will also be required to complete a variety of clinical experiences. The classroom field observations are an integral part of the teacher preparation program. This provides the student with the opportunity to experience effective instruction by observing different teaching styles in diverse environments. Students will be responsible for securing their own placement for some observation requirements; the Coordinator of Clinical Experience and Practice will coordinate other field hours. Clinical experience culminates in the students’ final two semesters as they complete their clinical internship (student teaching).

• A current Mantoux test (Tuberculosis (PPD) Screening) is required for anyone working with students in schools.

It is strongly recommended:

• Students complete a Criminal History Review (fingerprinting) through the New Jersey Department of Education.

Courses requiring field placement observation hours
For admission into an educator preparation program (EDC 330), students must pass (or be exempt from) the Core Academic Skills for Educators Praxis exam #5751 (consisting of three subtests, 5712, Reading; 5722, Writing; 5732, Math).See Praxis Resources.

Clinical Intern (Student Teaching) requirements

The clinical intern experience is designed so the student, when possible, spends two consecutive semesters with the same class and cooperating teacher. During the first semester the clinical intern will observe a minimum of 120 hours in the classroom and teach four lessons that will be observed by a college supervisor and three by the cooperating teacher. The clinical intern will spend the second semester entirely in the classroom gradually taking over all the instructional responsibilities. The intern will be observed six times by the college supervisor and four times by the cooperating teacher. The clinical interns will also participate in the Clinical I and II Seminars one evening per week where they will reflect on their experience and prepare their final portfolio.No other courses can be taken during the final semester of student teaching without the approval of the Coordinator of the Education Department.
