GED 528 - K-8 Curriculum, Assessment and Management

Students will come to a personal understanding of community and how it relates to an elementary classroom culture and curriculum. Using the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities, and the multiple lenses of a place based education, service learning, diversity in student population, and differing socio-economic backgrounds, participants will develop a comprehensive integrated unit of study, based on the UbD Framework. Classroom management and structure are included as foundations for success. The class provides an opportunity for participants to explore their personal education philosophy about teaching and learning through readings and discussion.
