ED 490 - Clinical Capstone: NHTCAP Seminar

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 are encapsulated in the New Hampshire Teacher Candidate Assessment of Performance (hereafter: NHTCAP). For the NHTCAP, 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 will be examined, with particular attention to students with diverse cultural, language, and socio-economic backgrounds and learning needs. This course is only intended for double-majors in Secondary Education to be taken concurrently with ED 432 - Clinical Capstone: Supervised Student Teaching.

Two credits.

Prerequisite(s): ED 240, ED 322, and ED 340
