BUS 5402 - Practicum - Curriculum and Instruction3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
Students deepen their understanding of curriculum, instruction, and assessment by integrating theoretical and research coursework with practice and reflecting on their development as curriculum leaders. During the practicum, the student conducts an action research project and leads efforts that contribute to progress on the School Improvement Plan in the areas of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The practicum will be completed under the supervision of a school district supervisor and the assigned MSOE supervisor. Related course assignments will demonstrate the practical application of the students’ knowledge and skills in real-life leadership activities and responsibilities and reflect the students’ understanding of the content.
The student must accrue 150 hours of practicum-related activities and experiences between May 1st and August 30th of the same calendar year. These activities are supervised by a qualified practicum supervisor and verified by the course instructor. Qualified supervising administrators must hold a valid and current #10 license in the state of Wisconsin and have served in the role of Director of Instruction or similar for at least 3 years. Three meetings between the student, their supervising administrator, and the course instructor will occur during the course of the practicum experience: an introductory conference, a mid-practicum check-in, and an end-of-practicum conference. (prereq: none)
