Teacher preparation for NAU’s College of Education students

Practicum field experiences

Overview

NAU College of Education Teacher Candidates are required to participate in practicum field experiences in each of the three-to-five terms that precede their culminating student teaching semester.  Over the course of these early field experiences, Teacher Candidates will progressively develop new teaching skills and assume more and more responsibilities within the classroom.

Practicum field experiences provide opportunities to observe, plan, and teach in authentic classrooms and apply information and strategies learned from methods and theory coursework. It is also an introduction to diverse classroom settings and the dynamics of the teaching profession. A Mentor Teacher and Practicum Supervisor provide support to Teacher Candidates as they develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions expected of professional educators.
