Description:

Prerequisites: Admission to the Teacher Education Program and completion of EDUC 319 and EDUC 321 with a ‘C’ or better. Corequisites: EDUC 380, 412 and 413. Should be taken the semester prior to clinical practice. This course offers candidates the opportunity to study and apply educational philosophies and multiple perspectives on classroom management. Candidates will develop a classroom management plan and model for classroom discipline that will be applied in the Clinical Practice experience. Case studies and field experiences will be analyzed in terms of various cultural and linguistic backgrounds of students, and candidates will have the opportunity to practice instruction and curriculum selection, engage in student assessment, and analyze teaching practice. The development of an integrated unit of study provides a real-life application for selecting materials, using technology in teaching, providing developmentally appropriate practice, and engaging in assessment. Related readings, speakers, and case studies also provide catalysts for discussions on the role of parents in the educational process, ethical responsibilities of the teacher, and the changing roles and challenges facing schools today.
