When Offered: Fall; Spring; Summer Session
Classrooms are dynamic spaces where teachers and students with a range of identities and experiences come together to learn in community. Students will utilize a variety of pedagogical strategies to assist in the development of meaningful relationships in the classroom by reflecting on their own experiences/identities and learning about their students and their families. Students explore a range of research-based approaches to provide culturally relevant and inclusive instruction. Emphasis will be placed on understanding teaching and learning from an ecological systems perspective that takes into account individual, family, school, and broader sociocultural and political factors. Forty(40) hours of clinical experience are required (Lab registration required).
