[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New teachers usually have at least 4 months of student teaching, in which they are in the classroom the whole day. They observe for a few weeks, and then take over, with the classroom teacher serving as their mentor. Leading up to student teaching, is at least 6 practicum experiences in which they observe a classroom about 4 hours a week for 10 weeks and plan a few lessons. [/quote] Not if they are TFA, in DCPS they teach for 5 weeks over the summer in small classes that do not resemble the final classes in any way and may not actually even be in the content area. They also have not gone to grad school but have to go to institute during time at DCPS, they can if they want continue to get a masters degree. They CANNOT already have a qualification in teaching to be in TFA or DC Teaching Fellow. I should know!!![/quote]
