EDU 564 - FOUNDATION/MID LEV LEARNER

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Education

Description:

The past two decades have witnessed tremendous reform in middle level education and more restructuring is in progress. This course examines the physical, emotional, intellectual, and moral development of the middle level learner and the corresponding implications for school organization. This is an integrated course with the Department of Secondary Education, the Department of Human Kinetics, and the Department of Counseling and Human Services working together to provide an integrated look at the middle level learner in the school setting. The Human Kinetics Department would be responsible for physical concerns. The Counseling Department would be responsible for concerns dealing with social, emotional and moral growth, and the Secondary Education Department would work toward an understanding of the cognitive growth of the middle level student. The departments would work together to promote the understanding of how the current research on middle level learners applies to the middle level practitioner. The course would utilize both team and individual teaching. It would also model the teaming process which is the primary teaching organizational practice used in middle schools.
