| (3 cr.) This course provides students with training and
experience in mentoring colleagues--novice or
experienced teachers--through a complete coaching
cycle. Students actively participate in a coaching
cycle that is designed to provide teachers with
support over a period of consecutive days as they
develop specific aspects of their teaching
practice. Students develop the skills necessary to
support those teachers through modeling lessons,
co-planning and co-teaching lessons, conducting
classroom observations and providing feedback to
those mathematics teachers to foster reflective
practitioners. Ultimately, students explore the
best practices in mentoring teachers to improve
the teaching of mathematics and to develop a
peer-to-peer coaching network for inquiry,
conversation, collaboration and support.
Prerequisite: EDL 501. |
