EDUC 0360 - Community Engaged Learning for Educators


Credits: 3, 6 or 9

This civic engagement course involves a full semester of field experience in a selected area school or agency that serves diverse populations (120 hours for 3 credits or 240 hours for 6 credits or 360 hours for 9 credits). A civic engagement education placement provides an opportunity for the student to engage with professionals, students, family and community members, as they apply, test, evaluate, and integrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions developed in the professional teacher preparation program. Students will engage in service as a mutually beneficial relationship with children or adolescents, their families and their communities. Additionally, students’ occupational/academic/civic engagement interests will determine placements, which may include more than one setting and/or working with a small cohort on a project. Course requirements include weekly reflections connecting student observations and work in the placement to the scholarly work, multiple on-campus seminars, a civic engagement project, and final presentation.

Prerequisites: Permission of Chair of the Education Department.
Note: This course is not a substitute for practicum (student teaching). It does not meet the practicum requirement(s) for initial teacher licensure.
