Course Description

ESP 574 provides culminating clinical practice designed for the master-level candidate who has completed all coursework and required standardized exams and currently is employed full-time as a certified, general education teacher of record. The candidate seeks a second, “advanced” level certification. While the candidate completes supervised teaching primarily in his/her own classroom, he or she also is required to complete specific experiences in the role of a special education teacher, in another school. A candidate employed in an elementary school must have a supervised placement in a middle or high school, while a candidate employed in a middle or high school must have a supervised placement in an elementary school. The candidate is mentored and evaluated by a certified, master-level, special education teacher (mentor teacher), in each setting, as well as by a professional educator assigned by the university (university supervisor). To successfully complete this clinical practice, the supervised teacher must demonstrate all four domains of Kentucky Framework for Teaching at the “accomplished” level (3) by the end of the term.

KRS 161.028 requires that the Education Professional Standards Board develop a professional code of ethics. The Professional Code of Ethics for Kentucky Certified Personnel is codified in 16 KAR 1:020, establishes the ethical standards for Kentucky certified school personnel and establishes that violation of the code may be grounds for revocation or suspension of Kentucky teacher or administrator certification.
