EDU3148 Education III
This course investigates the challenges and prospects teachers encounter when they attempt to form student-centered learning environments and extends to educators concrete insights and methods to support their work. Teachers attempt to make their classroom spaces where students participate in genuine and significant work, where students collaborate on challenging and composite tasks, and where students develop deep disciplinary knowledge and the skills and approaches that are essential for their achievement. The teacher must retain good leadership qualities in order to establish this style of environment. This course probes into ways to advance those vital skills.
You will grasp the usefulness and significance of leadership in education. Leadership is an essential tool in professional practice; you should not initiate a professional career without some knowledge of what amounts to notable leadership and a viewpoint of what it takes to be an excellent leader. This course will furnish you with that understanding. You will also study how to arrange your classroom and system of teaching for ideal student engagement and triumph.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
