Capstone Development and Lab
Non-Traditional Format
This course will be taught 95% or more online. Course will be taken as a six-credit course for students in the Ed.S. program. For students in the master’s program, the course will be taken for 3 credits. The three credits required for master’s students center on the applied nature of the course for the master’s program exit examination. The six credits required for the educational specialist students is needed given the applied nature of the degree and the need to demonstrate a comprehensive portfolio that demonstrates the student has the ability to lead others in their instruction in P-12 schools. Specifically, the contents of the portfolio for the educational specialist students will be much more labor intensive and will require demonstration of skills with extended audiences.
