Teaching Seminar I: Reflective Practice

Catalog description

This course is designed to assist first-year Fellows to explore issues likely to arise in secondary classrooms. By guiding students to reflect meaningfully on their experiences, to collaborate with peers, and to maintain perspective on the larger issues of urban education, a central goal for ED 625 is to help students be as effective as possible during their first teaching semester. Among other things, we will review and discuss the instructional strategies and theories Fellows learned this summer, expand on them in different ways professionals can share their work, get constructive and meaningful feedback, and work consciously to create a professional community in our classroom.
