They develop their professional skills in social foundations by considering how these contexts could and should affect adolescents in teaching and learning. Students are invited to consider public education and adolescence in larger perspectives in order to increase professional understanding and commitment to both. This course includes a minimum of 20 field hours toward the state-mandated 100 field hours before student teaching.
