Instructional Design and Subject Specific Pedagogy for Single Subject

Catalog description

In this course, candidates strengthen their subject matter expertise and application by familiarizing themselves with subject matter content standards and appropriate pedagogical strategies for teaching specific subject matter disciplines (math, science, social studies, etc.). These strategies focus on the candidates' prospective subject-specific credential and the diverse populations of students in today's classrooms. Working with the cohort faculty leader and expert practitioners, teacher candidates develop lessons using the Backward Design planning strategy that focuses on integrating subject-specific content standards, Common Core Literacy standards, and English Language Development standards. Candidates develop in-depth lesson plans utilizing Inductive, Deductive, and Cooperative methodologies.
