EDU60350 - Multiple Subject Methods

(3 units)

The goal of this course is to help Teacher Candidates (K-8) develop as reflective practitioners and researchers of their own ‘best practices’. The course involves an intensive study of methods, skills, strategies, and materials for teaching Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and History/Social Science. These primary multiple subject areas will focus on translating theory into effective practices. Teacher candidates will engage in critical analysis of a variety of objectives, instructional materials and strategies, assessment and evaluation techniques, and usage guidelines of the California State Framework as well as Common Core State Standards. This course will address the needs and strengths of a diverse student population and the appropriate design of an integrated and comprehensive multiple subject curriculum for all learning levels of English learners.
