- identify state requirements of a practicum course
- identify best practices to maximize the practicum experience
- develop a flow chart of the classroom requirements prior to practicum experience
- evaluate current constraints from previous students with the practicum courses
d To answer the major components which are Motivation, Perequisite and Subskills, Practice and Feedback, I've included a section of my project that cover these areas.

DESIGN
|
Below is the presentation and videos I will use to guide
the professional development. Teachers
will be broken into 6 groups of 5 or 6 teachers to a group. The groups will allow the teachers to
collaborate on various group activities throughout the professional
development. Each group will select a
photo of a student which on the back will have a short description of their CTE
pathway and location of their internship.
This will allow practicum teachers to learn more about various internships
we have in our program. The main purpose
of selecting these photos is to later evaluate the scenario of that student and
collaborate on a resolution to the problem.
The professional development will be the following:
·
What do I Already Know
o
Group activity to list as much as they can about
the practicum course
o
Video 1 on a student internship
·
Intern Processes & Paperwork Overview
o
Group activity to create a flow chart of
required paperwork for the internship
o
Video 2 on a student internship
·
Intern Experience Reflections
o
Group activity on practicum student scenarios
o
Group will act out scenarios and give a brief
presentation or demonstration over resolution
·
What’s Wrong with My Resume
o
Group will be given several resumes that have
errors
o
Group will present on what errors were made
o
Video 3 on a student internship
The length of the professional development could be a
variety of one full day workshop or a 5-day workshop. It will depend on if it will be use on a
professional development day, part of a professional development day or a
required afterschool meeting.

DEVELOPMENT
|
Teachers will be given instructions for the group
activities. The first group activity
will allow teachers to list what they already know about the practicum course
and internships. This will allow them to
discuss what they already know or what they think they know. Also, it will help newer teachers understand
more about what’s going on. When each
group shares, it will allow all of them to gain a better understanding of the
practicum course. The second group
activity will allow teachers to create a timeline and checklist of what’s
needed in order for a student to be successful in the course and in the
internship. As each group shares, we
will vote and adopt the best flow chart to use.
The third group activity will allow teachers to see a specific issue
that they will discuss and resolve as a group.
As each group presents their scenario all of the teachers can lesson and
reflect on all of the scenarios. The
final group activity will allow teachers to comment on resumes and understand
the importance of great resume writing.
The teachers will get actual resumes of students and discuss in their
groups what’s missing and what does not need to be there. They will also fix the resumes as a
group. The videos in between the
workshop and activities will reinforce the importance and the opportunities our
students have in the practicum course.
