Knowing About Students and Planning for Their Learning

Catalog description

Getting to know students as individuals is an essential component of a developing teaching practice focused on meeting the needs of ALL students. Great teaching includes using what we learn about students to help build positive relationships and inform our teaching practices. INT 631 helps teachers go beyond “the tip of the iceberg” and develop a deeper understanding about the assets students bring with them into the classroom. Additionally, teachers learn more about English Language Learners and Students with Special Needs, and develop practices to ensure their classrooms are designed to help these students thrive. This course includes sessions on either Subject Specific Pedagogy or Content Area Literacy. One-on-one field experience and onsite support and supervision are integrated throughout the course.
