EDUC 0360 - Community Engaged Learning for Educators


Credits: 3 or 6

This civic engagement course involves a full semester of field experience in a selected area school or agency for children (120 hours for 3 credits or 240 hours for 6 credits).  Students’ occupational/academic/civic engagement interests will determine their placements.  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.  Requirements include weekly reflections connecting student observations and work in the placement to the scholarly work.  Students will engage in service as a mutually beneficial relationship with children or adolescents, their families and their communities.  On-campus seminars, a civic engagement project, and presentation are also required.  This course is not a substitute for practicum (student teaching).  It does not meet the practicum requirement(s) for initial teacher licensure.  Placements may include more than one setting and may include working with a small cohort on a project.

Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
