Curriculum and Instruction Field Experience
Candidates are expected to attend their placement every week during the semester. Block I and II candidates must attend their placement for 2.5 to 3 hours weekly. For Block III candidates, time spent in the classroom can vary from 1.5 to 3 full days per week, depending on the program that you are in. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the program requirements before heading into Block III.
