This course is required for all Elementary Education students seeking their Reading endorsement. Typically completed by 3rd-year Education students, the field experience provides students with the opportunity to plan, and engage in, a variety of intervention strategies. As upper-level students in the Wartburg Teacher Education Program, it is expected that students demonstrate increasing aptitude and ability throughout the semester. 2’s or 3’s at mid-term will hopefully become 3’s or 4’s by the final evaluation. However, any time supervising teachers indicate a “1,” faculty will address this concern with the student. Any “1’s” on the final evaluation may result in the student receiving a 'Notice of Concern' in their permanent file and potentially failing the field experience portion of the course.
