EDU 546 - Planning and Assessment I

This is the first of a two course series designed for pre-service teachers to be taken concurrently with a school-based placement. Students will examine national and local learning standards, striving to build an understanding of the sociopolitical context of standards-based learning from an equity perspective. They will learn to build lesson plans and series of lessons for their grade level aligned with standards and child development. Students will develop a repertoire of assessment methods including diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. They will learn to create an instructional practice predicated on communicating clear expectations, giving meaningful feedback, and involving students in assessment. Students will share experiences and practices with each other, discuss and reflect upon relevant readings and apply learning in classroom settings.
