EDUC 641 - Place-Based Pedagogy and Practicum

CR: 12
Prerequisite: Only open to accepted M.A.T. students. This field-based course will include supervised teaching in the PreK-12 classroom for a minimum of 150 hours. Students will explore the ways in which educators organize curriculum around the significant questions students have about their world. By designing authentic place-based investigations, students in this course will weave together the deep knowledge of content, locally-relevant information, and authentic skills to create learning opportunities that matter to PreK-12 students, the community, and our collective future. Students will also explore, develop, and implement classroom management techniques that are responsive and relevant to the content in which they teach. Note: Courses numbered at the 600 level are exclusively for graduate students. Should an undergraduate student register in a 600-level class, they will be dropped without prior notice.
