UEDU 4050 - Exploring Diversity in Content and Pedagogy II

An essential feature of instructional and curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation is the ability of teachers to draw upon students’ previous experience, help students make connections between new information and previous knowledge and skills, and support students to transfer new information to real-life contexts and environments. The purpose of this course is to explore multiple aspects of complex processes including: 1) standards-based instruction (e.g., the relationship between standards and curriculum); 2) instructional design including both direct and indirect instruction; and 3) assessment, including both selected response measures as well as performance and portfolio assessment; and 4) differentiation in curriculum and instruction so that meaningful instruction becomes accessible to all students. Prereq: IPTE 4006. Admission into the IPTE Program. Cross-listed with UEDU 5050. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
