Teaching Lessons

Practicum students are required to prepare three lesson plans and teach them according to the following course requirement. Normally, during the first week of a student's practicum, they will observe, assist, and may teach one lesson by the end of the first week, and the remaining lessons during the second week. Lessons should be prepared using the Lesson Plan Template and submitted to the university supervisor in Chalk and Wire, Graceland's ePortfolio system.

You should plan to observe the lesson(s) taught and evaluate the student's performance using the Lesson Critique form.

Evaluating the Practicum Student
