EDU 553 - Special Methods in Teaching Secondary School Subjects

3 Hour(s)

This course is designed to examine models of learning and instruction at the secondary level, in order to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed for a diversity of learning environments and platforms. General pedagogy and best practices will be addressed, as well as pedagogy within specific content areas. As a group, we will focus on: how to engage students in learning; how to form learning communities; using technology to enhance teaching and learning; and developing online and blended learning platforms. Individually, students will explore, understand and develop a unit within their specific content areas. This will include 30 hours of clinical work out in the field to directly apply methodology while working with high school students.
