FFT 111 Teachers as Learners

This pre-service course focuses on an introduction to the California Teaching Performance Expectations (TPE) and the California Standards of the Teaching Profession (CSTP), which provide the guide for teacher expectations in 21st-century classrooms. Interns examine their own experiences as learners and explore how those experiences affect their beliefs as teachers. Interns focus on the complexity of teaching and meeting the needs of a variety of learners, with an emphasis on English language learners. Interns are provided with an overview of the CSTP and examine the importance of developing as a reflective professional educator and the role that goal-setting, embedded fieldwork and practicum supervision provide in the process. Interns learn about professional, legal, ethical, and Universal Precaution practices of being an educator and protecting their health and safety. (PBS).
