Description: |
Note: This
graduate-level course does not require any more effort than is needed
for satisfaction of the JFMF program requirements. The main focus of the 4-credit Practicum is to report what was
accomplished after returning from Japan. The requirements for this course are
the same as those required for acceptance in the JFMF program. |
|
Course
Objectives: |
The
PRACTICUM is intended to provide the educator with new insights and
perspectives on Japanese Education and Culture to: (1) augment his/her
leadership skills and abilities in his/her respective educational
settings; (2) enhance
his/her effectiveness as change agents; and
(3) employ the
competencies needed for leadership in today’s educational settings.
|
|
The
Practicum (EDCA 5778) offers each student an opportunity to gain 4
graduate credits.

Upon completing the four-hour
PRACTICUM, participants will demonstrate in their report how they
applied the following competencies:

Identification and dissemination of best practices -- assembling best
