This will cover the entire course. Active involvement in each class is an expectation. As of the 1996-97 academic year, the Education Program of CCSJ is requiring teacher candidates to develop a professional portfolio prior to the student teaching course. This portfolio should contain examples of professional development from various courses and activities. Projects connected with this course would make appropriate additions to such a portfolio.
Plagiarism is a serious unprofessional practice.
Assignments from the text and additional articles are listed as part of this syllabus. As minimum preparation for class discussion and participation, students should read the chapters to be examined that day. Student presenters should assume that the entire class has read the assigned material. A second draft will then be developed based on this feedback. The second draft, collected data, and instrument analysis will be presented in class and other students will critique the instrument.
