This course is designed as a capstone experience for middle grades or K-12 teaching internships and provides the M.A.T. program candidate educators with experiences to connect theory and practice in the context of a K-12 classroom. Responsibilities include: long-term planning, implementation of an integrated curriculum, the facilitation of small-and large group learning, the development of assessment systems that support the WV graduation standards for K-12 students, and professional interactions with peers and cooperating professions, as well as support and administrative personnel. This course is a directed and supervised second placement of two seven-week placements as a semester-long teaching internship experience in schools with assignments at appropriate grade levels and content areas. Candidates must make application for teaching internship prior to advance registration. Other courses and activities which might interfere with the teaching internship are not permitted. Success in this experience is required for continuation in and completion of the M.A.T. education program; failure results in removal from the M.A.T. education program. (CR/NCR only.)
