Teacher Certification (
http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/education/tcp.html)
The Teacher Certification program is a full-time, "fifth
year" course of study and practice designed for people
who hold a bachelor's degree. Students are admitted to
the program each summer, and progress as a cohort community
through four quarters of study and extensive field experiences
in urban schools.
This program is intended to prepare teachers for urban
school teaching. Master teachers and university faculty
work together to provide interns with a program that ensures
integration of course content with hands-on experience.
Site placements in partnership schools begin in late summer
and continue through the remainder of the program.
Multiculturalism is emphasized throughout the program,
both in course work and within the internships. The curriculum
features introduction to teaching in all areas of the
elementary and middle school curriculum, preparation for
non-curricular aspects of the teacher's role, reflection
on contemporary issues in education, and frequent supervision.
As teaching interns, students will become a part of instructional
teams, and will experience the daily life of schools and
students for the entire public school year. Within this
collaborative model of school-university cooperation,
interns will gradually take on increasingly responsible
roles in classrooms. Their experience will culminate with
a quarter of full-time teaching in the spring quarter.
