SCED-51200 Instructional Strategies and Learning Communities for Adolescents

This course will encourage teacher candidates to examine several components of teaching and how these components interact to create a positive learning community. Candidates will learn to design standard-based lesson plans and explore a wide range of strategies that will best address the academic and behavioral needs of the diverse student populations. Through field experiences, lesson plan development, and micro-teaching, candidates will create learning materials that demonstrate their understanding of the needs of various populations (ELL, special needs, and minority populations). Candidates will explore theories and techniques to create a positive and well-managed learning community. A 50-hour field experience in a school setting is associated with this course.
