Residency Seminar 2A ((2 Credits))

Catalog description

The Residency Seminar courses are designed to develop the resident’s teaching repertoire and ability to analyze and modify teaching strategies in relation to the resident’s classroom responsibilities and certification area. Residents will participate in online discussions, assignments, and at least four synchronous sessions associated with the course modules. This course involves three classroom observations. This course is the third in the clinical course series and focuses on: edTPA preparation, disciplinary literacy, small group discussions and cooperative learning, inquiry teaching and higher-order thinking. Residents will follow the requirements for New York State Initial Teacher Certification as well as the curricular and professional development programs of the school district where they are residing. Using a gradual release of responsibility model, residents will begin working with a school-based critic teacher before the first school year begins. Residents will begin the first year in a co-teaching role, gradually assuming a more active role in classroom planning, evaluation, and lead instruction as the school year unfolds. During the second year in the program there will be a blend of both co-teaching and resident-lead instruction. Prerequisites: EDUC 7065 .
