EDUC 0319 - Principles of Teaching and Learning


Credits: 3

This course introduces students to planning procedures and methods leading to the creation of lessons that are consistent with professional standards and state curriculum frameworks for early childhood, elementary, and special education PreK-8 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 occured?  To address the above questions this course specifically teaches: classroom interaction strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles, needs, interests, and levels of readiness; engaging teaching strategies that are accessible to all students; approaches to grouping that create and maintain a safe collaborative learning environment; culturally responsive teaching strategies that set clear and high expectations; and assessment methods that reflect depth of content and quality of effort and work.  A 30-hour field experience is required.

Prerequisites: EDUC 0220 , EDUC 0221 , and PSYC 0202 .
