| Publisher Description: Key Benefit This text provides insights and useful guidelines for success in any early childhood education student teaching, practicum, or field experience course. Key Topics This manual for the student teacher focuses on practical application, based on current research and theory. There is a special focus on professional behavior, lesson planning, portfolio development, diverse family structures, cultural diversity, inclusion, and working with children who have special needs. It presents current information on national and state standards, the reauthorization of NCLB, and assessment. In 10 chapters, this brief book covers the gamut of student teaching, from the beginnings, to being in the classroom, through completion of the practicum or student teacher course. The overarching themes include: preparing to begin student teaching, on becoming a professional, how to establish effective professional relationships, how to guide young children in the classroom, classroom management (environments and routines), student teaching observations and evaluations, assessing young children, giving supportive instruction, understanding diverse communities and interacting with children's families, and completion of student teaching, including a look ahead into the profession. Appendices include the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment, and the NCATE Unit Standards, Standard 1: Candidate Knowledge, Skills, and Professional Dispositions. Market: Designed for undergraduate students who are assuming the responsibilities of teaching young children while receiving guidance and supervision in a practicum or student teaching experience. |
