EED 374

Students are responsible for ALL information on the Office of Field Experience Level I Field Experience Website.

Level I Field Experiences provide SHSU teacher candidates with an introduction to the public school environment from the standpoint of a future educator. Professional expectation, focused observations, and thoughtful reflections are emphasized in the field experience for EED 374- Human Growth and Learning. Teacher candidates are required to complete and document ten (10) hours of public school field experience required for this course. Teacher candidates may be assigned, by the campus, to any classroom setting or combination of settings within elementary, intermediate, or middle school settings. For assignments in the intermediate and middle schools, candidate placement in core subjects is required.

The candidates’ role in the classroom will be passive. The candidates will not interfere with the students, teacher, or others during their visit, and will not interrupt or participate in the regular operations of the classroom or school.
