ED 351 - Special Topics: Clinical Capstone: NHTCAP

This course is assessment driven; the primary purpose is to complete and document a full teaching cycle. The full teaching cycle and all requirements for documenting work is encapsulated in the New Hampshire Teacher Candidate Assessment of Performance (hereafter: NHTCAP). For the TCAP, students demonstrate the strategies used to make content accessible to students, explain the thinking underlying teaching decisions, and analyze the strategies used to connect students with content. Effects of instructional design and teaching practices on student learning, with particular attention to students with diverse cultural, language, and socio-economic backgrounds and learning needs will be examined.

Two credits.
