• Draw from a variety of resources
• Reflect on becoming a teacher

EDUC 1001: Psychology of Human Development in Children and Adolescents in a Diverse Society

Students must work with Marquette鈥檚 Service Learning Program for field placements. Approved field sites can be found by course instructor here.

Students in this course will critically examine physical, social, emotional, moral, and cognitive development of children and adolescents.  Variables such as gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and language will be explored.

EDUC 4217/5217: Methods of Teaching Youth & Children with Exceptional Needs (All Candidates)

Students must work with Marquette鈥檚 Service Learning Program for field placements. Approved field sites can be found by course instructor here.

Students are expected to:

• Work actively with students
• Focus on the individuality of students
• Determine the differentiation required to meet individual student needs
• Analyze which students may be at risk and what some underlying reasons may be (with the assistance of the cooperating teacher and other school support teachers)
• Pay special attention to students diagnosed with Exceptional Education Needs (EENs) or special needs
• Identify which interventions are utilized and the effectiveness of those strategies

This field experience requires that students spend a total of 20 hours in the assigned classroom over the course of the semester. Note: All 20 hours must be completed prior to exam week in order to successfully pass this course. The classroom must have at least one student who has an Individual Education Plan (IEP), or you must contact the Field Placement Office to seek a new placement.

Field experiences at the Professional Program level also occur in the Milwaukee area and provide opportunities for more active involvement and engagement in the student learning process. Field experience at this level emphasizes the application of pedagogical strategies learned in methods coursework. During various courses, you will participate in the following activities.

EDUC 2001: Teaching Practice I鈥擳eaching Models and Instructional Design

Students must request a field placement from the Field Placement Office by completing the above Field Placement Request Form. 

This course is designed to introduce and provide and opportunities for practice in the fundamental skills necessary for effective teaching in varied contexts of practice (K-12 schools, community agencies, businesses).

All candidates (both elementary/middle and middle/secondary) take this course.

• Field students will arrange one 2-hour visit per week for approximately ten weeks of semester at a mutually agreed upon time with their cooperating teacher.
• Field students are assigned in pairs to one cooperating teacher (3+ years of experience with at least a tier-II, provisional license required.) We find that pairing our students at this level provides students with built-in opportunities for reflection and conversation and helps them challenge and possibly disrupt their preconceived ideas of what teaching practice should look like based on their experiences as students.
• Field students must teach at least one whole-class lesson in a content area to be determined in concert with their cooperating teacher.
• We encourage mentor teachers to treat Marquette students as apprentices being introduced to the multifaceted work of teaching across the domains of practice. We invite conversations about planning, environment, school policies, instructional decision-making, instruction, assessment, relationships with parents and families, collaboration with colleagues, and other related topics. We also want students to have opportunities to take responsibility in their classroom placements for increasingly challenging 鈥渢eaching鈥� tasks (teaching a small part of a lesson, performing small leadership roles, weighing in on some instructional materials and decision-making, etc.).

EDUC 4367/5367: Integrated STEM Methods (MC-EA Candidates only)

Students must request a field placement from the Field Placement Office by completing the above Field Placement Request Form. 

This course is designed to prepare pre-service teachers to enact core teaching practices supporting ambitious STEM instruction in grades 4-9 classrooms. Topics include core teaching practices supporting ambitious STEM instruction: (1) Identifying a 鈥淏ig Idea鈥�; (2) selecting worthwhile STEM tasks; (3) using representations to model STEM concepts, (4) eliciting and building on student thinking; (4) facilitating whole class discussion. Students are provided multiple opportunities to integrate theory with practice through analysis and reflection on their own teaching in STEM classrooms.

Only elementary/middle candidates take this course.

• Field students will arrange two 2-hour visits per week for approximately ten weeks of semester at a mutually agreed upon time with their cooperating teacher.
• Field students are assigned in pairs to one cooperating teacher (3+ years of experience with at least a tier-II, provisional license required.).
• Field students must teach at least three whole-class lessons in either math or science, scheduled in concert with their cooperating teacher.
• We also encourage mentor teachers to provide students with opportunities to evaluate, critique, select, and develop STEM curriculum materials including preparation of labs. We invite conversations about: planning in multiple time frames for STEM instruction (e.g. curriculum maps for the grade level and content area; semester-long calendars, unit plans, lesson plans, etc.); classroom environment particularly related to the content areas in STEM, safety with science materials; school policies relevant to STEM instruction; teacher decision-making about instruction, assessment, relationships with parents and families, collaboration with colleagues, and other related topics. We also want students to have opportunities to develop confidence in taking leadership for classroom routines (so that they aren鈥檛 just 鈥渙bserving鈥� but are participating in more helpful ways).

EDUC 4047/5047: Advanced Teaching Practice in Middle and High School 

Students must request a field placement from the Field Placement Office by completing the above Field Placement Request Form. 

The field component of this course takes place in a middle school classroom. This course is designed to examine the history, contexts, practices, and complexities of secondary education and their intersection with adolescent development. It focuses on development of skills for effective teaching in secondary schools including interdisciplinary planning and teaching, contextually and culturally relevant practices, functioning as members of learning communities and collaborative teams, analyzing and reflecting on instructional practices that matter for adolescents, and facilitating discussions and promoting deeper understanding. This course also meets the DPI Act 31 requirement for secondary majors.

Only middle/secondary candidates take this course.

• Field students will arrange two 2-hour visits per week for approximately ten weeks of semester at a mutually agreed upon time with their cooperating teacher.
• Field students are assigned to one cooperating teacher (3+ years of experience with at least a tier-II, provisional license required.).
• Field students must teach at least three whole-class lessons in their major content area, scheduled in concert with their cooperating teacher, with at least one of these lessons focused on leading discussion.
• Given that part of the course focuses on developing skill in leading discussions with large and small groups, as well as discussions about challenging, contemporary topics, it would be helpful if students were exposed to advisory periods or homeroom settings where discussions happen in schools.
• Since this class also focuses on the varied forms and reforms of secondary schooling, we encourage mentors to talk with students about why their school is the way it is (e.g. if the school is an IB school, how did that happen? What does that mean? What does it mean to be a teacher in an IB school? What is it like for students? What can new teachers expect from school leaders in this type of school?)
• We encourage mentor teachers to treat Marquette students as more advanced apprentices developing more sophisticated understandings of the multifaceted work of teaching across the domains of practice in middle schools and high schools. We invite conversations about planning, environment, school policies, instructional decision-making, instruction, assessment, relationships with parents and families, collaboration with colleagues especially about interdisciplinary learning and teaching, adolescent development and other related topics. In addition to their whole-class lessons, we also want students to have opportunities as appropriate to take responsibility in their classroom placements for increasingly challenging 鈥渢eaching鈥� tasks (teaching parts of lessons or taking leadership for class routines), weighing in on some instructional materials and decision-making, etc.).

Advanced Teaching Methods with Content Specific Course Numbers 

Students must request a field placement from the Field Placement Office by completing the Field Placement Request Form.

These courses are designed to allow for application of teaching methods to various content areas in middle and high schools. Field experiences occur in grades 9-12.

Only middle/secondary candidates take this course.

• Field students will arrange two 2-hour visits per week for approximately ten weeks of semester at a mutually agreed upon time with their cooperating teacher.

• Field students are assigned to one cooperating teacher (3+ years of experience with at least a tier-II, provisional license required.).

• Field students must teach at least four whole-class lessons in their major content area, scheduled in concert with their cooperating teacher.

• We encourage mentor teachers to treat Marquette students as more advanced apprentices developing more sophisticated understandings of the multifaceted work of teaching across the domains of practice in middle schools and high schools.
