shelter content instruction for diverse learners. Participants will prepare to

The course EDC 110-01 is an introduction to and study of the American teaching profession. The students will explore their own attitudes towards learning and teaching as well as many of the essential issues and questions of the American education throughout history and in the present moment. Participation is essential, as we’ll be using and modeling many effective strategies and practices in education. Also, teacher panels, visits to a local elementary school, documentary films, the opportunity to volunteer at a local high school, and interviewing a teacher will bring forth an additional practical dimension to the course. The course is a work-in-progress: some assignments may change according to the students’ interests and the needs of our classroom community.
