WVU Parkersburg Professional Studies division announces Fall 2023 clinical students

Parkersburg, W.Va. (September 12, 2023) — WVU Parkersburg is proud to announce its Fall 2023 Clinical students.

The WVUP Elementary Education program provides field experience in the classroom as early as the freshman year. With the traditional student teaching model, teacher candidates spend a semester in two classrooms and quickly assume teaching responsibilities under the mentorship of an experienced teacher until they are teaching full-time. The new residency model places teacher candidates in one classroom for their entire senior year, and they assume responsibilities more gradually.

“We are very proud of our Clinical students,” said Dr. Bobbi Marshall, dean of Professional Studies. “They have completed a rigorous program of study, successfully passed state exams, completed approximately 230 hours in a K-6 classroom and written countless lesson plans. Our residents are prepared and excited to begin influencing the lives of current and future generations of children.”

The Fall 2023 class of students in Education 401 includes:

JACKSON COUNTY — Maggy Criser

PLEASANTS COUNTY — Lindsey Cross

RITCHIE COUNTY — Valerie Bircher

WOOD COUNTY— Nolan Brace; Alysha King

The Fall 2023 class of students in Education 410 includes:
