They also keep a teaching journal, in which they analyze their classroom observations in light of the theory and research. These two journals form the basis for daily classroom discussions. Students will write weekly short papers of two pages. Each paper will be a specific application of a topic from the week's readings and will include some independent research on the topic. Students also write a reflection on each lesson they design and teach.
Students complete several written evaluations of their peers' teaching.
In small groups, students write an interdisciplinary unit, usually 10-12 pages long.
