Catalog Course Description: Topics include instructional strategies, models for classroom management and discipline, parent-school community involvement and school law. Forty-five hours of field-based activities primarily in reading and language arts. Course Purpose: The purpose of this course is to provide proven teaching methods coupled with effective instructional theory, best practice, to pre-service teachers. We want to develop the premise that the teacher is an educational leader and decision-maker who both directly affects the students and influences the presentation of subject matter.

Course Texts: Arends, R. I. (2007). Learning to teach. (7th ed.). New York: McGraw/Hill. Charles, C. M. (2008). Building classroom discipline. (9th ed.). New York: Longman. Supplemental Materials: Live Text Account Professional Portfolio Packet ITC Proficiency Packet Learning Model: Social Systems: This model is constructed to take advantage of the collective energy people generate when working together by building learning communities. Learning is viewed as an interaction between the student and critical aspects of the school and home environment and focuses on the whole ecosystem, not just the learner. The model is designed to lead students to define problems, explore various perspectives of the problems, and study together to master information, ideas, and skills. The teacher organizes the group process and disciplines it, helps the students find and organize information, and ensures a vigorous level of activity and discourse.
