EDU62370 - Clinical Practice II: Teaching and Learning

(1.5 units)

This course provides an introductory overview of teaching and learning, focusing on the key elements for effective instruction using a student-centered approach. You will identify how lessons can be analyzed for evidence of student learning and growth and reflect on how your state’s professional teaching standards are incorporated in your lessons. You will use the evidence from your coursework to develop lesson plans by applying reflective teaching practices to create effective instructional activities and learning tasks that are connected to real world applications, and give students the opportunity to develop their skills to deepen content understanding.
