Education

Senior Methods Block

The general and special methods courses, taken just prior to student teaching, are considered an integrated block, with a team of college instructors working together with high school teachers to help students develop competence. The total experience includes regular field work, supervised by the college, in one or more schools where students observe, tutor, assist with small groups, and begin to teach. General and special methods courses must be taken during the same semester. These method courses and student teaching cannot be transferred from another institution.

During the fall semester, students spend one morning a week in Brooklyn Technical High School as part of their methods courses.
