An enriched, integrated pre-service course and content experience that provides an overview of schooling and classrooms from the perspectives of language, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnic and academic diversity, and equity with an emphasis on factors that facilitate learning. The course provides students with opportunities to participate in early field observations of P-12 special populations and should be aligned as applicable with State Board for Educator Certification Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities standards. Must include a minimum of 16 contact hours of field experience in P-12 classrooms with special populations.

In order to complete the required field experience hours in P-12 classrooms, students must present a valid United States government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or state-issued ID) to the partnering school district.  Students who are unable to obtain this documentation should consult with their instructor or coordinator/college contact as early as possible to discuss potential alternatives or accommodations
