Meeting Needs of English Lang Learners
Math Methods Middle L Grades 4-8
Methods & Materials Mid Grades: science
Methods & Materials Mid Grades: Soc Sci
This course emphasizes various instructional processes, techniques and assessment for working with English language learners. Differentiation and review of Pennsylvania standards will be addressed. The course emphasizes the basic mathematical competencies identified by the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Mathematics and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics critical to mathematics instruction for middle school teaching. Students will learn the pedagogical methods and strategies combined with the essential mathematical theories of number operations, algebra, geometry, fractions, data analysis, probability and statistics through demonstrations, collaborative learning, modeling and field experience. This course is intended for the junior level. This course is designed to familiarize students with objectives, methods and resources for grade 4-8 science and to further enhance the scope of their science knowledge through lecture, class discussion, projects and student demonstration. The course will introduce student to Academic Standards developed by NSTA and PDE. Students will develop lesson plans, based on Danielson ' s four domains, utilize effective instructional strategies, including cooperative learning and other evidenced-based best practices as they apply to the sciences, and will be involved in a hands-on, constructivist mode of teaching / learning. This course is designed to familiarize students with objectives, methods and resources for grades 4-8 social studies and to further enhance the scope of their social studies knowledge through lecture, class discussion, projects and student demonstration. The course will introduce students to academic standards developed by NCSS, the National Geographic Society and PDE. Students will develop lesson plans, based on Danielson ' s four domains and these will include best practices in instruction and various types of assessment techniques. The course will involve students in a hands- on, constructivist mode of teaching / learning.

Field Experience I |
During this stage of Field Experience, the Education Studies major will spend two( 2) days per week or equivalent in a school setting to observe in the teaching and learning process. Major focus will be on observing and understanding the four domains of effective teaching. As the semester progresses, the student will begin to work with individual students and teach in a small group setting. A University Supervisor will evaluate the student in the classroom. |
