IV. Two Required Textbooks:
Shrum, J. and Glisan, E.  (1999).  Teacher’s handbook: Contextualized language instruction, 2nd Edition.  Boston: Heinle and Heinle.  ISBN 083840879-6

Danielson, Charlotte.  (1996).  Enhancing professional practice: A framework for teaching.  Alexandria, VA: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.

V.  Catalog course description: This course is a field experience course with multiple placements.  Students will choose two field placements from among elementary, middle and high school levels.  During orientation prior to beginning each field experience, students shall explore the relationship between theory and classroom practice in foreign language education, across the P-12 spectrum.

VI.  Purpose/ rationale: This course precedes student teaching.  Students enrolled in this course will observe foreign language classes at different grade levels and school cultures, they will participate in some aspects of classroom teaching, and they will begin to plan and implement lessons.

Conceptual framework:
The “Collaborative Model for Preparing Professional Learning Facilitators” is the basis for all of Kennesaw State University’s teacher education programs.  Working from a solid content background, the teacher as facilitator demonstrates proficient and flexible use of different ways of teaching to actively engage students in learning.  Facilitators are well versed in the characteristics of student of different ages, abilities and cultural backgrounds.  They are skilled in integrating technology into instruction and create an environment in which students can be successful and want to learn; facilitators know when and how to asses learning by means of various forms of traditional and authentic assessments.  Facilitators are well prepared for successful careers in teaching are expected to act in a professional manner in all circumstances with colleagues, parents, community members, and their own students.  As a professional educator, the teacher facilitator values collaboration and seeks opportunities to work with other professionals and community members to improve the educational experiences for children and youth.
 

This course complements the sum total of students’ academic and professional preparation, including content knowledge and professional knowledge in areas such as the Georgia Quality Core Curriculum, the National Standards in Foreign Language, the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages’ guidelines for grades K-12; pedagogy and best practice in foreign language teaching; knowledge of technology appropriate to grade levels K-12; self-reflection and assessment; and diversity inherent in contemporary American schools.

Use of technology: Students enrolled in this course expand upon what they know about technology in schools and classrooms.  Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the technology requirements of the Bagwell College of Education.  For details of these requirements, see the Field Experiences Handbook (sold through the KSU bookstore) and the Foreign Language Education Program Handbook, available on-line at  www.kennesaw.edu/foreign_lang.

Diversity: This course enables students to address multicultural issues, such as learning styles and strategies, family and cultural background, and gender differences, in extant, contemporary classroom settings.

Kennesaw State University provides program accessibility and reasonable accommodations for persons defined as disabled under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  A number of services are available to help disabled students with their academic work.  In order to make arrangements for special services, students must visit the Office of Disabled Student Support Services (ext. 6643) and arrange an individual assistance plan.  In some cases, certification of disability is required.

VII.  Course goals: The Professional Teacher Education Unit (PTEU) prepares learning facilitators who understand their disciplines and principles of pedagogy, who reflect upon their practice, and who apply these understandings to make instructional decisions that foster the success of all learners.  As a result of the satisfactory fulfillment of the requirements of this course, the students will be able to demonstrate competency in instructional planning and implementation, student assessment, self-assessment and target language skills necessary to be a successful foreign language teacher.  With guidance from the university supervisor and collaborating teacher, the students will:

KNOWLEDGE
Demonstrate an understanding of the cultural and linguistic background and needs, as well as the general social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of the students they teach in grades P-12 (Program objective: 1A)

Demonstrate knowledge of a variety of approaches, motivational and “managing” techniques in teaching the target language in order to create a non-threatening, interactive environment (1B)

Demonstrate proficiency in their respective target language at levels(s) defined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (2A)

Demonstrate an understanding of the approaches to foreign language curricula and instruction and theories of second language acquisition (2C)

Demonstrate the ability to communicate to students of all ages (P-12), peers and supervisors the skills and knowledge outlined above (2D)

Demonstrate not only the currently accepted practice(s) in foreign language education but also the challenges to proficiency-oriented instruction (2E, 2F)

SKILLS
Integrate theory and practice in foreign language instruction to plan, implement and assess appropriate instruction for the grade level taught (3A)

Choose, coordinate, adjust and use materials, technology and approaches for effective foreign language instruction and evaluation appropriate to grade level that encourages students to solve problems and apply skills outside the classroom (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D)

UNDERSTANDING
Model “global perspectives, attitudes and values” they expect their students to display with respect to the target culture, school culture and all other cultures (4A)

Collaborate in an ethical and professional manner with students, school personnel, university personnel, parents and community members for the benefit of the students and the profession (4B)

Engage in continuous self-evaluation of practice, pedagogy, language skills and professionalism, recognizing that language learning and language teaching are never-ending processes (4C, 4D)

VIII.  Course requirements/assignments/seminars: Attached.

IX.  Evaluation and performance assessment: Students enrolled in this course will earn a letter grade based upon evaluations made by the collaborating teachers and university supervisor.  Assignments submitted after the due date are considered late and will not be given full credit.  The final letter grade will be determined as follows:  A-100 to 90%   B-89 to 80%  C-79 to 70%  D-69 to 60%  F-59% and below for the following assignments:

30%  Effective lesson planning and implementation: The university supervisor(s) will observe each student at the school site(s) and via video recordings.  These observations may be either announced or unannounced.  Following each observation the student will schedule a conference with the university supervisor and collaborating teacher to discuss feedback.  The student must show strong evidence of effective lesson planning, including implementation of assessment; classroom management in the target language appropriate to grade level and school “culture”; proficiency in the target language without excessive reliance upon English; a variety of techniques and methods appropriate to the grade level and school environment; and self-assessment of effectiveness.  The student must document that (s)he has incorporated technology into lesson planning and implementation at each grade level/school site.  Please refer to Section VI of this syllabus for details of the technology requirements.  The student must be receptive to feedback and suggestions offered by the collaborating teacher and university supervisor(s).

All lesson plans must include the following:
Student objectives    Activity    Material/technology  Assessment   QCC

20%  Attendance and participation in seminars and conferences with university supervisor for feedback: Students are expected to be present for all scheduled on-campus seminars and to actively participate in discussion of topics related to the field experiences.  Students must schedule weekly conferences with the university supervisor and collaborating teachers to discuss feedback and progress in this course.

30%  Written assignments, Weekly Conference Sheets, reports and observations: Unless prior arrangements have been made, the student will submit the collaborating teacher’s Weekly Conference Sheets and all written assignments each week on Friday by 5:00 PM.  Details of assignments are included in this syllabus.  Students may ask the university supervisor(s) for help with grammar, but they may not ask for help from other persons.  To do otherwise risks committing academic dishonesty.

20%  Final exam: Students are required to take a final exam during final exam week on May 5, 2000 from 11:00 until 1:00 in room 427 of the Library.

X.  Academic honesty:
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.  Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University’s policy in academic honesty, including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University record or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards.  Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which include either and “informal” resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct’s minimum one-semester suspension requirement.

Disruptive behavior: The University has a stringent policy and procedure for dealing with behavior which disrupts the learning environment.  Consistent with the belief that disruptive behavior can interrupt the learning of others, behavior which fits the University’s definition of disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

Human dignity: The University has formulated a policy on human rights which is intended to provide a learning environment which recognizes individual worth.  It is expected in this class that no Professional should need reminding, but the policy is there for your consideration.  The activities of this class will be conducted in both the spirit and the letter of that policy.

XI.  Attendance policy: Students are expected to be at the school site the prescribed number of hours each week, to schedule and attend conferences with collaborating teachers and university supervisor, and to attend and participate in all scheduled seminars.  Please do not change observation days or times without advanced permission of the collaborating teacher.

XII.  Course outline and schedule of assignments: Attached

XIII.  References and bibliography: Because of the diverse nature of the placements for students enrolled in this course, a single bibliography is not appropriate.  An excellent bibliography is included in each of the chapters of the required textbook.  In addition, university faculty and school personnel can suggest references particular to each student’s needs and interests.
 

Tentative Schedule of Assignments.  If adjustments are necessary, please note them on this sheet.  This schedule will likely change because of Spring Break and the public school calendar.

Weeks one through eight pertain to the first placement; and weeks nine through sixteen refer to the second placement.  Please give each collaborating teacher a copy of the appropriate schedule, along with the weekly conference sheets (a 3- page checklist), a tips sheet for working with (pre) student teachers, and either a midterm (1st placement) or final (2nd placement).
