Practicum in Mathematics
Practicum in Mathematics
Practicum in Mathematics is a carefully designed field experience connected to EEL 362 (Elementary Methods of Teaching Mathematics) that allows Flagler teacher education students to transfer education theory from coursework into practice in an elementary education school setting where mathematics is taught. The practicum in math experience involves Flagler students in various aspects of classroom teaching: methodology, pedagogy, curriculum/standards, student engagement, and classroom management. Students will employ a growth mindset and reflective practices when observing, assisting, planning, implementing, and assessing mathematics learners in an actual school environment under the guidance of a mentor teacher and college supervisor. Students move through four basic learning experiences: observation, to assist, one-to-one tutoring or instruction, and small group instruction. All practicum placements are made through the Flagler College clinical education coordinator.

Department Required Mathematics Course (3 Hours)
Elective Courses (At Least 19 Hours)
To meet the minimum 120-hour graduation requirement, Elementary Education majors must take at least 19 hours of electives. Students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisors regarding relevant elective course selections. Recommended are courses that provide or reinforce knowledge and skills that will contribute to becoming an effective teacher. Also, note that careful selection of elective courses can lead to a minor (e.g. Biology, Coastal Environmental Science, Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology), making Elementary Education majors more marketable.
