SECONDARY EDUCATION

STUDENT TEACHING SEMINAR

Senior Project Seminars

The School of Education is requiring all student teachers and intern teachers to complete a Senior Project as part of their final portfolio. All the information you will need to complete the Senior Project can be found on Canvas for your section of EDSC 4850. In addition to the online modules, you will be required to attend 4 seminar sessions. During this seminar you will learn about the senior project, ask questions, gain feedback, receive guidance on creating, completing and editing your senior project . The seminars will be scheduled in the afternoons throughout the semester. View the calendar below for seminar dates and times. Attendance is not an option it is required.  We will meet in the computer lab in the education building.

The purpose of the Senior Project is to help you continue to understand the teaching and learning process as well as demonstrating your skills and abilities as a teacher. Your project will involve teaching a unit, which will include planning, teaching assessing, evaluating learning and teaching, and reflecting on the teaching and learning process.     Completion of the Senior Project is a requirement for graduation and licensure through the school of education at Utah Valley University.
