Classroom Practice 2

Catalog description

This course provides additional support for teachers working to build or deepen their pedagogical skills via further individualized advising, coaching, research, implementation, and reflective practice. Participants will engage in an additional targeted cycle of inquiry by setting a data-informed goal, investigating, implementing and documenting relevant strategies, tools, processes and resources, reflecting upon new learning and emerging goals, and surfacing a new goal or goals for further study. Possible areas of study may include: Developing and maintaining the classroom as a strong, collaborative learning community; Setting and assessing standards for quality work; Targeting skills and dispositions within curriculum frameworks; Designing student-centered learning experiences that address subject area standards through a meaningful context for learning; and Using the Experiential Learning Cycle as a framework for understanding teaching and learning.
