Description
In this first professional seminar students consider teaching as a field of professional study governed by ethical and professional standards. The pedagogical skills to be demonstrated by all teacher candidates seeking license to teach in our public schools, and the knowledge and skills specific to the field and level of licensure are introduced. Issues encountered in schools (poverty, immigration, homelessness) and their impact on student learning and development are examined. The Universal by Design framework for lesson design, essential questions, and performances of understanding are introduced. Students examine cooperative learning to promote socio-emotional learning and create a community of learners within the classroom. A Universal by Design lesson plan is required. Students identify a topic and research question to frame the Independent Learning Project (ILP). A subscription to TaskStream is required.
