This course is packed and in the process of being revised into two courses. This course explores cooperative education and teaching technology through the perspective of functions, and in the context of 20 hours of active classroom observation. We are also involved in the supervision of secondary teaching assistants through a weekly seminar. For the master's education program, we teach Ed 630. This is a crash course in the methods explored more completely in 221 and 222, with additional content geared towards the practicing teacher who is the typical Ed 630 student.
More graduate courses are in development, possibly emphasizing math in the middle school context.
The faculty which teach these courses are also actively involved in research and participate in several grant projects. We can often be found in area schools, working with teachers and students. This is vital to keep our classes realistic and practical, to give our education students the best possible preparation for their future teaching.
