EDPL 4650: Professional Internship Seminar for all Teacher Education majors
Capstone seminar in which teacher candidates demonstrate data-based instructional practices and reflection as they are concurrently completing their professional internship under the direction of a cooperating teacher and university supervisor. Through planning and independent teaching of an extensive unit of instruction, candidates document synthesis through the completion of the edTPA. Allows candidates to demonstrate culminating knowledge, skills, and dispositions acquired through course coursework and professional education as well as required content coursework across the university.

*Honors Co-curriculars: A co-curricular experience in the OHIO Honors Program (OHP) is a meaningful learning opportunity outside of the classroom that complements a student's academic coursework while supporting their personal, professional, and academic goals. Co-curricular experiences may include internships, research, study away, leadership roles, student employment, creative activities, community engagement, mentoring, or other experiential opportunities that align with one or more of OHP's pathways: Leadership, Community Engagement, or Research and Creative Activity.
For the Connavino and Mackenzie King Honors Programs, students can select two co-curricular experiences of their choice. Through those experiences, students will engage in a critical reflection process before, during, and after the experience to connect their learning to their academic goals, evaluate their personal growth, and identify how the experience will inform future opportunities.
