Pre-Service Teachers from Werklund School of Education 

We are happy to welcome five first year pre-service teachers from EDUC 440 (Field Experience I) of the Werklund School of Education B.Ed. Program. The pre-service teachers will have the opportunity to observe learning and teaching in our school.  The field experience is a critical part of the understanding developed by practicum students and it is a very exciting and rewarding experience for them. The practicum will run from October 7-18, for a total of 9 days.
