The guiding philosophy of the MAED/TED-E program is to provide the adult student, who already has a degree in a discipline other than education, with the knowledge, skills and dispositions that will allow them to become a competent and effective educator. This program focuses on elementary student learning by improving the educator's responsibility for that learning. Clinical Practice (student teaching) is an integral component of the Teacher Education Program. It provides students with a field-based experience at the appropriate grade and content level. Student teachers work with a cooperating teacher from a school site and with a University of Phoenix faculty advisor. The clinical practice is designed to emphasize the achievement of state standards leading to certification and to present individuals with growth opportunities that best prepare them to assume the duties of a certified classroom teacher. Throughout the program, students are required to complete a minimum of 100 hours of verified clinical experiences covering a variety of developmental levels. The focus of each experience will relate to specific course content and professional preparation. Documentation will be maintained in the student's professional portfolio.","defaultProgramDuration":"22","defaultProgramDurationFormat":"months","defaultProgramCredits":"45","defaultCostPerCredit":"540","defaultProgramFormat":"Online","defaultProgramStartDates":[{"date":"2021-11-16","displayDate":"Nov 16, 2021"},{"date":"2022-01-11","displayDate":"Jan 11, 2022"},{"date":"2022-02-22","displayDate":"Feb 22, 2022"},{"date":"2022-04-05","displayDate":"Apr 5, 2022"},{"date":"2022-05-17","displayDate":"May 17, 2022"},{"date":"2022-06-28","displayDate":"Jun 28, 2022"},{"date":"2022-08-09","displayDate":"Aug 9, 2022"},{"date":"2022-09-20","displayDate":"Sep 20, 2022"}],"defaultApplyByDate":"Nov 10, 2021","disableApplyNowCta":"false","applyNowType":"primary","applyNowSize":"large","disableRfiCta":"false","rfiType":"primary","rfiSize":"large"}">
