ED 507 - Integrated Instr & Assessment

3 Credit(s)

This course supports candidates in aligning their beliefs and values to develop their teaching identity. Metacognitive processes will help candidates be aware of their own motives and empower them to actively participate in their own learning as they begin to develop their art of teaching. Candidates will design a sequence or unit of study following the Understanding by Design framework which includes digging deeper into formative and summative assessments and interpreting assessment data to teach responsively. Alternative methods of facilitating instruction and assessing student performance and understanding will be investigated and implemented to increase the candidate’s understanding of their students’ abilities, interests, and needs. Candidate’s will also discover strategies for fostering successful community partnerships.
