Field Experiences and Security Clearance Policy Candidates for certification in South Carolina are required to spend at least 100 hours of observation/ teaching in the schools prior to Student Teaching.
The NGU College of Education seeks to provide for the safety and security of not only its teacher candidates, but also all students in K-12 school settings with whom NGU students work. Effective August, 2009, any student enrolled in a COE course requiring field experience must obtain a criminal background check from your state of residence. This background check will be required annually for education students enrolled in classes with field experiences. Students will also be required to have a negative TB test result documented and placed on file each year they are in a field placement. The Director of Teacher Education is responsible for the oversight of the security policy.
Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education candidates are organized by cohorts within each Partner School. A faculty member, a faculty mentor, and a cooperating teacher support the field experience for each candidate. The mentor and cooperating teacher conduct demonstration lessons, observe candidates teaching, and conference with candidates to provide on-going feedback and documentation. The classroom teacher compiles a formative evaluation following each lesson taught and a summative evaluation at the end of each semester and an Assessment of Dispositions. At the end of the semester the faculty member and the mentor share the summative evaluation with the candidate. The cooperating teachers’ evaluations are given to the Field Experience Placement Coordinator who files them in the candidate’s cumulative records. The Chair of each department reviews these and discusses them with the candidate prior to their being admitted to Directed Student Teaching.
Secondary Education Program Field experiences in all secondary programs are course-based. In order to fulfill the South Carolina Statement Department of Education requirement for 100 hours’ field experience prior to student teaching, thirty (30) hours of field experience are completed prior to admission to a program. Candidates complete twenty (20) hours of field experience in EDUC1210 Introduction to Education, and 10 hours in EDUC3340

Educational Psychology. Upon admission to the program, candidates must complete the assigned number of hours for each field experience as specified by course. Candidates are supervised by a faculty member, a faculty mentor, and the cooperating teacher; formative and summative assessments in field experience courses prior to student teaching will be determined collaboratively by the faculty mentor, cooperating teaching and the University professor. Courses and their required field experience hours are included in the list of course requirements for majors in all secondary education programs: English Language Arts, Social Studies Education, Mathematics Education, and Spanish Education.
Music Education Program Music Education majors complete twenty (20) hours of Field Experience in EDUC1210 Introduction to Education. Eight hours of observation are required in each of the Music Education technique classes (Brass, Woodwind, Strings, Percussion, and Vocal/Choral) for a total of forty (40) hours. Music Education students also must spend forty (40) hours in field experiences in MUED3320 (Music in the Elementary and Middle Schools), and forty (40) hours in field experiences in MUED4401/4402 (Music in the High School) for a total of 140 hours prior to student teaching. Student candidates observe a cooperating teacher and then teach a demonstration lesson and a video lesson. The University Music Field Experience Coordinator observes students in MUED3320 and MUED4401/4402, completing a formative and summative evaluation for each student. The cooperating teacher also completes an evaluation of the teacher candidate in each field experience. These evaluation records are filed in the College of Education Field Experience Office.
Student Teaching The semester prior to student teaching, candidates MUST complete with a passing score the South Carolina required examinations (Praxis II series), in their chosen teaching field as well as the PLT examination. (A list of the required tests and passing scores may be obtained from the College of Education Office).
Students are encouraged to schedule a pre-student teaching conference with the Director of Teacher Education. A review committee examines the student’s records for compliance in all areas, assesses his/her strengths and weaknesses in both academics and professional demeanor, and decides whether or not to recommend the candidate to the Teacher Education Committee for placement in Directed Student Teaching.
All candidates seeking teacher certification must complete twelve (12) semester hours of Directed
