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.<\/p>\n<p>For students who do not take EDUC 395 in addition to EDUC 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.<\/p>\n<p>****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.
