EDUC 0519 - Methods of Teaching 1 Through Mathematics

Credits: 3

This course is the first of a series of three methods courses for the prospective teacher. In this introductory methods course, students will focus on the foundations of teaching, learning, and assessment in the content area of mathematics, including the critical evaluation of mathematics curricula and materials. Students will learn how to develop well-structured lessons that meet the diverse needs of learners and align with the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics. A focus on critically evaluating institutional practices and ideologies that create inequities in mathematics education, as well as examining personal biases and assumptions and their impact on the teaching and learning of mathematics are central to this course. The learning experiences in this course align with the department's commitment to Critical Engagement with Diversity, Social Justice, and Reflective Practice. This graduate course is cross-listed with EDUC 0319 and is differentiated by assignments, learning outcomes and expectations at an advanced level.
