SP ED 6500 - Student Teaching: Students with Visual Impairments (5-21)

Students are assigned two practicum settings with students who are blind or visually impaired (i.e., a classroom setting and an itinerant setting) for 15 weeks under direct supervision of cooperating teachers for a total of 450 clock hours. Emphasis is on the teacher as a team member, problem solver and consultant. Students will identify, analyze, and interpret visual impairments, potential adverse impact on the student's education, communication, and behavior; maintain evaluation systems; and implement and manage education programming for students with visual impairments.
