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 learners who fill our classrooms and how we attend to their understanding of diverse content, learning habits and engagement.

This course requires an estimated 20 hours of focused observation outside of the classroom.

Credits: 3 cr.
