ED 521 The Teacher and the Classroom, Elementary

(3 credits)
This course is designed to teach future teachers to facilitate classroom processes for effective learning. First, students engage in proactive strategies from the basic (routines, rules, attention, consistency) to the instructional (chunking work, grouping, marking corrects). In addition, the course focuses on designing, planning and implementing learning with an emphasis on group, small groups, and the individual student. Finally, students learn to use a problem-solving approach with particular focus on observations, interactions, progress monitoring, and teaching social skills.
