Clemson University College of Education Mission

College of Education Mission: The College of Education is a transformative leader in systematically improving education, beginning at birth. Our mission is to engage our students in high quality applied research, professional learning, and immersive experiences. We prepare culturally competent scholar practitioners who promote the growth, education, and development of all individuals, with emphasis on underperforming schools and underserved communities across the state and nation. 

Course Description: The purpose of the field experience is to give students the opportunity to observe, participate, and reflect upon authentic public-school experiences. Through focused assignments, students will consider questions and concepts from their courses while situated in actual practice. Field experiences provide students with experiences that contextualize ideas and spur discussion in their courses. All students are required to log a minimum of 50 hours and 50 contacts in their field placement over the course of the second semester.

This is a dual-credit college course for which students earn AP credit. 

Students are responsible for reading, understanding, and abiding by the course syllabus. Paper copies will be provided for students upon request.
