Candidates for initial licensure will explore the contexts of secondary education, including the history of U.S. public education and theories of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of the adolescent. Candidates will apply these contexts via strategies for effective teaching and learning, with an emphasis on discipline-specific literacy as outlined in the state’s ELA/Literacy Frameworks. Candidates will practice lesson planning and student-centered classroom management approaches. Candidates will be required to successfully complete a micro-teaching as their first gateway assessment. 10 pre-practicum hours that make use of the state’s Candidate Assessment of Performance (CAP) indicators are required.
