It is recommended that EDUC 211, EDUC 222, EDUC 346 and EDUC 360 be taken in different semesters as each will require clinical experience hours in schools.<strong>Please Note:<\/strong> Required clinical experience hours typically occur <em>outside<\/em> of your regular class time.<strong>CE1:<\/strong> EDUC 211- <em>22 hours of clinical experience required in an urban public school setting.<\/em><strong>CE2:<\/strong> EDUC 222- <em>20 hours of clinical experience required in a public school setting.\u00a0 Must be admitted into the TE Program by preregistration semester prior.<\/em><strong>CE3: <\/strong><em>60 hours of clinical experience required in a public school setting.\u00a0 New TB test and possession of a valid substitute teacher license required at time of preregistration semester prior.<\/em><strong>CE4: <\/strong><em>20 hours of clinical experience required in a public school setting.\u00a0 New TB test and possession of a valid substitute teacher license required at time of preregistration semester prior.<\/em>***New regulations will require students to have either 6 credits of Special Education, or the equivalent, to be eligible for certification upon completion of the TE Program. Ramapo College will fulfill this requirement by continuing to require EDUC 360, a 4 credit course, and will fulfill the remaining 2 credit equivalent by requiring students to take EDUC 395.For students who do not take EDUC 395\u00a0in addition to\u00a0EDUC 360, they must complete a minimum of 60 hours of fieldwork while enrolled in EDUC 360. These hours will satisfy the requirement of both the mandated Special Education fieldwork experience and the requirement for 6 credits of Special Education.****Only offered fall semester. These four courses are co-requisites and must be taken the semester prior to Clinical Practice Capstone.<\/p>\n<p>State mandates, as of Fall 2018, will require one full year of Clinical Practice (CP). At Ramapo, that will be done on a Fall-Spring model. In the first semester, students must complete 180 hours of clinical practice requirements; in the spring they must complete 525 hours during Clinical Practice Capstone (student teaching.). <sup>CP 1, 2, 3, and 4<\/sup> will each require 45 hours, in addition to regular class time, in local K-12 schools.<\/p>\n<p>This major has enough space built-in that students <strong><u>could elect to complete a middle school endorsement within the 4 years to graduation and certification<\/u><\/strong>. Students must have 15 credits (4 Ramapo courses) in a particular content area (language arts, science, social studies, or math), PSCY 347 (Adolescent Psychology, included in 4-year plan), 2 on-campus non-credit seminars, and passage of the appropriate middle school content Praxis examination to earn a middle school endorsement. Interested students should seek guidance from Teacher Education Program staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE: Transportation to and from clinical experience and clinical practice placements is the responsibility of individual students.
