EDU 4890 Music Education - Student Teaching
(formerly EDU 489)
In the full-time student teaching semester, the Music teacher candidate will demonstrate mastery of competencies needed to implement instruction in the diverse special subject classroom. The experience will be consistent with the program philosophy, purpose and objectives established and monitored by the program faculty, and with learning outcomes specified and assessed regularly. This experience is accompanied by supervised weekly seminars conducted by faculty who have training and skills in the music education special subject areas and in the relevant pedagogy. Teacher candidates will have one placement in an elementary school and one placement in a middle or high school. Music education teacher candidates will teach under the supervision of a certified master teacher and relevant Division of Education and Music Department faculty. Evaluation of teacher candidates will be based on field performance as well as the ability to enhance learning through both reflective and collaborate practice. This course also helps to prepare teacher candidates for edTPA, a performance-based assessment required for initial certification, by analyzing and applying the three tasks: (1) Planning for Instruction and Assessment, (2) Instructing and Engaging Students in Learning and (3) Assessing Student Learning.
