At UMBC, we strive for teacher candidates to enter the classroom as leaders and innovators. Our field experiences are designed to help new teachers be successful in the classroom for many years.
During the internship, teacher candidates will be observed several times by their field experience supervisor and classroom mentor teacher.
The UMBC lesson plan templates are designed to support the learning of the lesson planning process. Intern lesson plans should include all information in the UMBC templates, regardless of whether the UMBC, district, or school lesson plan template is used.
