Candidates apply an understanding of diversity of student populations in elementary and secondary school. Consideration is given to addressing the needs and aspirations of all learners across the contemporary spectrum of culture, gender, language, and ability levels. Particular emphasis is placed on research and the use of case studies toward the development of open-mindedness, the awareness and implications of bias, the issues surrounding character education, and school violence. Literacy, reflective practice and assessment strategies are developed. The role of technology, both as resource and tool, in the application of educational theory to meet NYS and professional standards is an integral aspect of this course. Field observation and experiences are required and integrated into this course.
Prerequisite: EDPC 603 or EDIT 603 and EDPC 605
