EDUC 0360 - Civic Engagement Capstone: Learning in Community


Credits: 3-9

This course is designed to provide students with an alternative to practicum, allowing for a field experience in which students can engage with professionals, students, family, and community members, as they apply, test, evaluate, and integrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions developed in their education coursework. Students’ occupational, academic, and 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 int he placement to the scholarly work, multiple on-campus seminars, a civic engagement project, and a final presentation. Note: This course does not meet the requirements for Practicum. Each credit should correspond to approximately 40 hours in the field.

Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor or the 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.
