This course is meant to provide hands on experience in the classroom for students interested in improving their pedagogical skills in general and their Latin teaching in particular. Students are assigned a 1st-8th Latin classroom at Hillsdale Preparatory Academy. They commit to that classroom for one semester, during which time they provide Latin instruction on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:10-11:45. Outside of the classroom, students are expected to grade assignments, create and submit lesson plans, coordinate with their teaching partner (if applicable), conduct teacher observations, communicate with their classroom lead teacher, and attend teacher development seminars. This course is for 1-2 credits. All students, with the exception of the student administrator, must commit to the Latin instruction portion of the course. Enrollment is by instructor permission only; interested students must complete the application and interview process. Students repeat CLS 450 for up to 6 credit hours; such hours count towards the overall maximum allowable internship and practicum credit (6).
