GED 580 - Approaches to Teaching

This course will explore the backwards design framework for curriculum planning and critical components of differentiated instruction in order to help us develop a range of instructional strategies to meet the needs of all learners. We will build our repertoire of instructional strategies through research, observation, workshops and reflection. We will consider the range of diverse learners who fill our classrooms and how we attend to their development of academic skills and learning habits.

As part of the licensure program, this course, in combination with the other licensure courses taken in the fall semester, requires a 6 hour per week field placement. In most cases this will be in the same classroom in which the candidate will be student teaching in the spring.

Credits: 3 cr.
