Instructional Strategies and Resources

Catalog description

This course examines high quality curriculum design with emphasis on instructional strategies and resources and their impact on student learning. Strategies and resources that effective teachers use to support students and their learning are explored, such as teaching as an iterative process, and matching instructional use of strategies and resources that are based on research, best practices, content, and student needs. Emphasis is also given to the essential role of reflection and revision, as effective teachers continuously monitor and learn from their practice. Through critical analysis and coursework, participants analyze and apply these understandings to their teaching context to document their emerging expertise with the selection and use of instructional strategies and resources.
