Application to the Smith College Educator Licensure and Preparation Program
Secondary Program (Middle School or High School)

Students teaching at the middle and secondary level complete their teaching practicum in one semester. They teach daily, usually from 7:30-2:30 or 3:00, following the schedule of the school where they are placed. They are encouraged to stay after school, on occasion, to meet with their cooperating teacher, work with their students, and attend school meetings and professional development training sessions.

Due to the demands of student teaching, students are encouraged to take only three courses during their student teaching semester: EDC 346 Clinical Internship; EDC 352 Student Teaching Seminar; and a Teaching of ... course (For English: ENG 399; For History: HST 390; For Foreign languages: FNH 480/SPN 481; For Science/Engineering: EDC 390 etc.)
