Week 9

Syllabus

The main purpose of the Practicum is to apply and solidify what you already know, and to acquire more knowledge and experience in the vocation of teaching. The reading places emphasis on the teaching philosophy of every teacher, and that is so because on that will depend how the teacher will instruct, how his or her values will affect directly or indirectly all he or she does.

Feedback is one of the main reasons why the Practicum is done. Through videotaping and other means the facilitator and the classmates, and the student himself or herself will analyze the work of the teacher. Then they will try to evaluate and help him or her in the process of teaching.

The whole Practicum experience should be one of the few in the career that will enhance and empower the future teacher to face confidently the classroom.
