development principles as well as principles of effective teaching and training practices. Students in the course work under the joint direction
and supervision of both a teacher with knowledge of early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence education and exemplary educators
in direct instructional roles with elementary-, middle school-, and high school-aged students. Students learn to plan and direct individualized
instruction and group activities, prepare instructional materials, assist with record keeping, make physical arrangements, and complete other
