The clinical experience in a public school classroom pairs candidates with clinical educators in an expectional children’s education setting with one or more types of specialty area students to further develop content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and integrate technology in all areas to produce a positive impact on student learning. The goal of the clinical experience is to link theory and practice within the clinical setting to contextualize and cultivate knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions.

Students who are licensed in exceptional children should take a three semester hour non-teaching clinical experience. Students who are licensed in a non-exceptional children’s area should take the six semester hour non-teaching clinical experience. Students who are currently lateral entry in special education should take a three semester hour non-teaching clinical experience. (Fall and Spring)
