ED 102 - Field Experience in Education

Description:ED 102 is designed to provide the student with practical, hands-on experience in the public or private schools or in educational agencies for the purpose of exploring the potential of teaching as a career. This experience and seminar class emphasizes visiting and working in various classroom settings of interest to the student. Class seminars are also conducted in which experiences are shared with students and the instructor. Observation experiences are coordinated with the student's course work. Experiences are arranged by the student and instructor cooperatively and a one-hour per week seminar is a requirement of the course. Credit is determined at enrollment based upon hours per semester in the school setting: 1-14 clock hours = 1.0 credit hours; 15-20 clock hours = 2.0 credit hours; 21+ clock hours = 3.0 credit hours. Due to education-related course observation requirements, this course may be repeated as necessary. Students may be required to provide a criminal background check to school districts before participating in field experiences.
