=Senior Year Coursework, MSU English Education Program=

The senior year is a demanding time for English education majors. They are still taking classes to finish out their English majors, plus taking TE 407 in the fall, and TE 408 in the spring. These are demanding courses in terms of time, as they prepare teacher candidates for the internship the following year. Besides the expected three-plus hours per week in seminar, they spend two hours a week in lab activities, and four hours per week in classrooms in the Lansing area. The purpose of this page is to make the process of this year as transparent as possible for all involved in supporting the seniors: the 407/408 instructors, the mentor teachers, the English 408 instructors (the literacy course for English education majors), and the English 313 instructors (the composition course required for future English teachers).

On this page, we will post syllabi, descriptions of major assignments, and anything else we think will be useful for keeping the lines of communication open.
