Credits: 3

Introduces students to planning procedures and methods leading to the creation of successful and appropriate learning with particular emphasis on creating developmentally appropriate lesson plans that are consistent with professional standards and state curriculum frameworks for early childhood and elementary educators. The course responds to four fundamental questions: How do children learn? What are we going to teach and why? How are we going to teach and why? How will we know that learning has occurred? The course specifically teaches modes of teaching, classroom interaction strategies, approaches to grouping, teaching diverse student populations, using instructional technology, and learning fundamental approaches to classroom assessment. Students will apply course acquired knowledge, skills, and dispositions in a required thirty hour field experience.
