EDU 500F: M.Ed. Clinical: Teacher Work Sample

This supervised practicum graded on a pass/fail basis is a clinical experience required of students working toward the M.Ed. in Elementary, Secondary, Special or Gifted Education. Students take this course, in which they create a teacher work sample, during the first 18 hours in the degree program. Teacher work samples (TWS) are exhibits of teaching performance that provide direct evidence of a candidate’s ability to design and implement standards-based instruction, assess student learning and reflect on the teaching and learning process. Also teacher work samples are teaching exhibits that can provide credible evidence of a candidate’s ability to facilitate learning of all students.
