EDCI 580 Career Professionalism for Middle Childhood, Adolescent/Young Adult and Multi-Age

This course provides the springboard from the university setting to the professional workplace, the transition from student to employee. As reflective practitioners, students will be expected to create professional development plans, which they will act upon during the semester. In this course, students will present their completed professional development electronic portfolio and will begin development of an employment portfolio to be used in job interviews. Students will participate in and understand the process of a College of Education clinical assessment during student teaching. Exploration of district-level mentoring programs and examination of a professional teaching contract will prepare them for their Entry-Year Teaching experience. The College of Education Level 3 Graduate Program Assessment is attached to this class.
