Education Practicum
Undergraduate students in the Elementary Education and Secondary Education majors will participate in both pre-practicum and full practicum experiences in their time at Boston College, working to gain teaching experience and learn how to thrive in an increasingly diverse education environment.
Pre-Practicum Experience
Undergraduates complete two pre-practicum experiences, each in a different setting and consisting of one school day per week for 10 weeks.
Students frequently collaborate on-site with their Program Supervisor.
In addition to in-class time supervised by graduate teaching assistants, undergraduate teacher candidates participate in one Special Issues in Teaching seminar per pre-practicum.
Full Practicum Experience
The undergraduate capstone experience includes one semester-long full practicum during senior year.
During the full practicum, teacher candidates work on-site five days a week under the supervision of a practitioner and clinical faculty member.
