The objective of the teaching practicum is to provide students with practical teaching exposure within an actual classroom environment. This practicum requires students to closely collaborate with a faculty member to observe teaching methodologies and gain practical teaching exposure. The configuration of experiences and the scope of supervisory duties will be determined by the student and the advisor. Given WBS’s mentorship-based doctoral program, this practicum is typically completed as an independent study under the supervision of the PhD student’s advisor. During these practica, students are guided and assessed by their faculty supervisors. The nature of students' practicum experiences will differ, spanning factors such as the degree of focus on actual teaching sessions, the creation of course materials (e.g., syllabi, assignments, and discussions, etc.), grading assignments, as well as engaging in curriculum evaluation and planning. Enrollment in this course is not a teaching assistant assignment.
