EDCI 4900 - Residency in Elementary Grades, 1-5


Credits: 3-9
Lecture Hours: 0
Laboratory Hours: 35+
The residency program designed for an all day, year-long experience in an elementary school setting (grades 1-5) offers college students or “residents” the opportunity to implement effective practices in a classroom setting, while receiving feedback, support, from highly qualified mentors and a university supervisor/coach. The residency provides a blend of theory and practices making the residency model a unique route into teaching, helping students draw meaningful connections between their daily classroom work and the latest in education theory and research. Over the course of an entire school year, residents move from a supportive, co-teaching role in the classroom to an increasingly demanding teaching role. Residents also complete their coursework embedding research-based practices in field assignments and prescribed course requirements to further impact student learning. A variety of coaching, conferencing, and reflective practices will be implemented to provide valuable insight into effective teaching methodology, helping residents develop knowledge, skills, and habits of mind. To meet the residency requirements, students must take this course for six credit hours in the fall semester and three credit hours in the spring totaling nine credit hours over two consecutive semesters. Entrance in FA only, continues through both FA and SP. To meet the needs of alternative certification students, this course may be take once for six credit hours in one semester or twice for three credit hours for two consecutive semesters. Offered FA.
