EDSP 421B - Early Field Placement

Unit(s): 1

EDSP 421B is an Early Field Placement during which candidates spend approximately 60 hours observing and participating in three special education classrooms or placements. In conjunction with EDSP 421A and the introduction on specific topics, the candidate will observe the teacher and students in the observation classrooms/settings to understand how these topics are operationalized in special education settings. These observations will be discussed further during class and via online discussion forums. The guided exploration of the work of a special education teacher and the ecology of the classroom will enrich the candidate’s understanding of the profession and help to build the foundational knowledge and skills needed to be an effective special education teacher.
