I really enjoyed this course. We got to pick from a wide variety of projects and select our own teams. One thing I will say is that you can learn a ton you will use in your career in this class, so try and pick a group/project that will challenge you to learn new things.

Students in either the elementary and early childhood Professional Teacher Education Program (PTEP) must take ELED 409 in a semester immediately prior to or following the semester in which ELED 401 and 402 are taken. ELED 409 is considered part of the student's professional internship. Spend at least one full day per week in classroom observations and/or professional activities at the field placement, as well as additional days during University breaks. Keep the same in-school hours as professionals in placement (i.e., with respect to contracted arrival and departure times, and out-ofschool meetings such as parent conferences). Accrue and log at least 20 days of internship during ELED 409. This time should be in full-day increments as much as possible, and no less than half-day increments may be counted. Time spent in the field placement for ELED 409 may not be counted concurrently with ELED 309. If ELED 309 and ELED 409 are taken in the same semester, the two field placement time commitments must be scheduled and logged separately.
