EDMS 200 - Being a Teacher in Today’s Schools

Unit(s): 2

This seminar continues the process of exploration, building on ED/LIBS 100, where students discussed what it means to be a teacher in our schools today. Here the focus is on the student in elementary education. From an educational perspective, students will consider what it means to be a student; what forces and circumstances shape their identity and their journey as students in elementary education. Students will elaborate their teaching philosophy throughout the semester, interweaving information from their own lives as students, from the readings, and from their field observations.

Prerequisite(s): Course restricted to Liberal Studies BA students with a Hutchins School: Blended-Trk 3 Sub-Plan.
