This course is conducted as a workshop that meets during the semester (zero credit). Students are given access to the Program Handbook and instructed on the requirements for the Teacher Education Program. Students need to take time to read the Program Handbook as it contains a lot of information about the program.
All Graceland education students will use Chalk & Wire as their electronic portfolio software. The portfolio development process allows teacher candidates to submit evidence of their growth as they critically reflect on their own learning as well as that of the students they will teach.
Undergraduate candidates begin using Chalk & Wire in EDUC2420 Entry Workshop, and will continue using it through the end of student teaching.
Students should enroll in EDUC2420 Entry Workshop the term after completing EDUC1300 Introduction to Education. This class is required for all transfer students in education during their first term at Graceland. (Graded on a Pass/Fail basis)
