The goals are to prepare teachers who are: -Classroom leaders, professionally prepared to accept responsibility for student learning (MWSU Conceptual Framework); -Highly knowledgeable in their cognitive areas (MoSPE/MWSU/INTASC Standards); -Skilled in the techniques and methods of teaching across a diverse student population (MoSPE/MWSU/INTASC Standards); -Practiced in the application of six domains of positive teacher dispositions (MWSU Disposition). The Professional Semester – Special Education: A student enrolled in Cross Categorical Disabilities Student Teaching will assume the daily teaching schedule of the cooperating teacher. Cross Categorical Disabilities Student Teaching (EDU 427 Cross Categorical Disabilities Student Teaching) is to be taken during the student’s senior year. Seminar in Elementary Education & Human Relations (EDU 403 Seminar in Elementary Education and Human Relations) is to be taken concurrently with Cross Categorical Disabilities Student Teaching. A passing score on the appropriate Content Area Assessment is required before enrollment in EDU 403 Seminar in Elementary Education and Human Relations and EDU 427 Cross Categorical Disabilities Student Teaching.
