Description:
| During the last semester of their teacher preparation program, Molloy College Education students have the opportunity to do their student teaching in conjunction with St. Martin's College, Lancaster, England. Over the past two years, three Molloy student teachers have successfully completed their student teaching in British schools. We are fortunate to have worked with St. Martin’s Education faculty members, who understand Molloy’s requirements for student teaching which fully comply with New York State Education Dept. guidelines. Student teachers are supervised on a weekly basis by St. Martin’s faculty and Molloy Education Dept. evaluation documents are used and sent back to Molloy to be added to the student’s professional folder. In addition, Molloy student teachers communicate via e-mail on a frequent basis with a Molloy College Education faculty member. Molloy’s Education Dept. is in constant communication with St. Martin’s in order to monitor our students’ progress.
Student teachers reside in the international student residence on either the Lancaster or Ambleside campuses and have the opportunity to live and work with students from countries such as Cyprus, Germany, Italy and Spain as well as students from other American colleges. Student teachers are placed in either elementary or special education classrooms and experiences at both primary and intermediate level are included, as required by New York State. St. Martin’s has offered the opportunity for secondary student teachers to participate in this program as well.
Both campuses of St. Martin’s have fully-equipped professional resource centers in which state-of-the-art teaching materials may be borrowed for use during student teaching. In addition, each student is given an e-mail account and Internet access.
Weekends and academic recesses provide numerous opportunities for travel within Britain and Ireland as well as to the continent. Scotland and Wales are just a short train ride away and Ireland can be visited in a weekend. The towns of both Lancaster and Ambleside are student oriented and provide many opportunities for socializing.
Upon returning to New York, student teachers are encouraged to include their student teaching abroad experience in their professional resumé since this indicates that the participant is able to adapt to new cultures and transfer teaching skills to new situations. Such an experience makes a teaching candidate more attractive for school employment once back in the States. Molloy students are highly encouraged to consider this wonderful opportunity and take advantage of it. | |
