COURSE DESCRIPTION________________________________________________________________________
“This is the capstone course in the Teacher Education Program. Students will complete an outcomes portfolio. Students will be introduced to representatives from Idaho institutions and encouraged to complete application materials for their institution of choice. (This course addresses Idaho Core Teacher Standards 2, 6, 9, 10).”
Purpose of the Course: Display High Impact Practices
Not only is the data that we collect important to our department chair for reports to the administration (Outcome Assessments), but you gain experience writing your thoughts in the APA format. This prepares you for "University" entrance exams, which are written in APA. We practice APA in every education class in preparation for university exams (PRAXIS or otherwise). Regardless of the exam name, you will need to prove you can write concisely and convey your thoughts on paper:
(1) Explore needs for transfer;
(2) Evaluate educational programs and make connections with institutions;
(3) Explore requirements for chosen university and complete entrance portfolio;
(4) Establish registration procedures to chosen university;
(5) Expand knowledge of educational theory displayed in E-portfolio (Weebly); and
(6) Extend writing skills and critical thinking skills through discussions.
