Practicum and High School Summer Institute

To further enhance the options for students to complete the professional development requirements of the Alternate Route Program, The GSE has designed a Practicum course, in which pre-service teachers can finish the 20-day, pre-service component of their professional development under the guidance of university supervisors. The 2008 & 2009 practicum is currently collaboratively administered by the Rutgers University World Languages Institute and the West-Windsor-Plainsboro and Princeton School Districts.

The Rutgers Multimedia Chinese Teaching System (RMCTS)

RMCTS currently constitutes a complete on-line set of textual and audio course materials for use in teaching Chinese from beginning to advanced levels. Under the current initiative, the following sections will be added:

  1. 1) A component suitable for use in K-12 level Chinese language teaching

  2. 2)The enhancement of the site’s interactivity and multimedia capabilities through the addition of podcasts and video lessons

  3. 3)The development of a set of on-line teachers manuals outlining strategies and methods for using RMTCS both in and outside of the classroom
