EDUC 619 | Seminar in Subject Specific Pedagogy

This course offers MAT secondary candidates frameworks, materials, skills, and practices for teaching in relation to content areas (English, Math, History/Social Studies, and/or Science). The course operates in various sections by discipline and is designed in relation to EDUC 618, which offers broad preparation in general teaching methods at the secondary level. Working with subject specific instructional mentors, students in EDUC 619 expand and translate concepts from 618 into their own disciplinary domains to support student learning and growth. Relevant concepts include teaching from an inquiry stance, developing student discourse in classrooms, assessing learning, differentiating instruction for a range of learners, grouping practices, and content area literacy. Students will develop lessons and an instructional unit sequence relevant to their own content area and for use in their student teaching placement classroom.
