Students will become aware of broader local, state and national assessment issues beyond the classroom, and will understand the impact of these assessments on the professional practice and the lives of classroom teachers.

Within the Clinical Capstone course, students are expected to apply theories, pedagogy, and critical thinking skills. Prerequisites include completion of all content and teacher education certification requirements and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.50. It is expected that this course will be taken concurrently with a methods course in students’ content/grade level area as well as ED 490 Clinical Capstone: NHTCAP Seminar. Clinical Capstone: Supervised Student Teaching is open only to seniors pursuing certification. Students will, in the semester prior to the Clinical Capstone, complete a 20-hour bridge clinical placement. The Clinical Capstone: Supervised Student Teaching experience is evaluated by a mark of high pass, pass, low pass or fail.
