EDU 620 - Capstone Field Experience and Electronic Portfolio

Credit Hour(s): 3
This course provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their acquisition of the core competencies of the program in an integrated and comprehensive manner, critically exploring their growth as learners and as professionals through the capstone experiential component and e-portfolio. This course includes a field assignment or shadowing experience either in the candidate’s own school or in a self-arranged placement in a school. Development of the e-portfolio involves synthesizing and critically reflecting upon the learning students have experienced, and providing artifacts, which demonstrate their knowledge, skills and competencies as graduates of the Ed Specialist program. Building an e-portfolio provides a means to foster reflective practice and to document the unique “learning journey” of students as they progressed through the program. In this course, students receive direction and support in the creation and presentation of their final product of the program. This course must be taken during the final module in the Ed.S. program. 3 Credit(s).
