2022-2023 Course List

This course is designed to prepare the elementary classroom teacher with methods and materials for teaching physical education.

Assessment (benchmarking, progress monitoring & diagnostic) and strategies for assisting struggling learners in reading and mathematics within the Response to Intervention (RTI) framework. Coreq: EEC 424 and Eng. 491

This course explores young children's (birth to age 8) development of emergent literacy skills related to reading, writing, visual representation, speaking, listening, and viewing. The role of parents and early childhood learning environments are included. Observation, assessment, and strategies to promote emergent literacy are discussed. The use of appropriate children's literature is promoted.

A field experience focused on diagnosis and remediation of the struggling reader.

Provides elementary education majors with information about special needs students in the regular classroom. Including strategies for effectively teaching and managing behavior of these students.

Students will develop the knowledge they need to understand the difference between assessment and evaluation; what validity, reliability and bias mean; the uses, advantages and limitations of different types of assessments and how to interpret their results. Students will also design assessments and scoring instruments.

Prerequisites:

EEC 333 

TThis course is designed to develop elementary teacher candidates¿ understanding of mathematics content, children¿s mathematical thinking, and high-leverage practices as well as cultivating an equity mindset that is needed to teach mathematics to increasing diverse student populations. This course will strengthen teacher candidates¿ understanding of multiplication, division, fraction, decimal and algebraic concepts taught in intermediate classrooms.

Selection and organization of content, materials, activities, and procedures for the elementary classroom.

A theoretical and practical base for conferencing and collaboration with parents of children with special needs and other professionals during the IFSP or IEP team process. Spring

Science/health/math experience in elementary classrooms. Coreq: EEC 322, 324, 407, 421, 444

This course is designed to provide students with a variety of experiences and teaching methodologies for teaching life science topics in the elementary classroom.

A theoretical and practical methods course pertaining to children¿s intermediate literacy development.

This course is designed to provide students with a variety of experiences and teaching methodologies for teaching physical science topics in the elementary classroom.

Facilitation of understanding of supervising staff, program management and leadership in early care; addresses issues and methods for personnel working in public and private settings for young children from birth to age 8.

This course is the first semester of elementary (K-6) student teaching. It includes lesson planning, small and whole group teaching, designing assessments and planning interventions.

Student teaching in the elementary school. Includes weekly seminar. Prereq: Methods Courses; admission to student teaching.

Prerequisites:
