Tutoring In Schools

The course introduces undergraduates to tutoring culturally and linguistically diverse students in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. In addition to a weekly seminar, University students tutor in schools on a schedule throughout the semester under the direction of student leaders, Faculty Directors of the TEAMS project, and public school teachers and administrators.

Classroom Assessment

The purpose of this course is to provide the student with an introduction to classroom assessment that includes a consideration of technical issues, as well as policy issues related to test use and misuse in American education. The ultimate goal of this course is to provide the student with a balance of both theory and its practical applications in the area of assessment. This class is not designed strictly for teachers; however, students who are education minors or who plan to become teachers will find this class useful.

Curriculum Development

This course offers a foundational introduction to theory, research, and practice of curriculum development. We will examine competing theories of curriculum; current and historical curricular debates; recognized best practices in curriculum design; and the relationships among curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and social justice.
