Practicum

The Educational Leadership Program helps students design practicum experiences that support the application of theory. The practicum specifically addresses all areas of administrative responsibility and meets the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission requirement of verification of practicum experience at two combined levels: early childhood/elementary and middle-level/high school.

This two-semester course includes monthly three-hour seminar meetings and a field placement with a practicum plan developed between the campus supervisor and each field supervisor. This commitment of time and energy meets the 360-hour practicum requirement as stipulated by TSPC.

The amount of time spent at each level--early childhood or elementary and middle level or high school--is determined on an individual basis, taking into account the student's experience and goals as well as field supervisors' advice.

Students are expected to demonstrate their leadership potential in the field settings, have meetings with their campus supervisor and field supervisors, log their activities, and develop a portfolio.
