Educational Theory and Practice in Teaching English II

This course is designed to accompany MAT students' one-semester fall practicum teaching placement. This field-based course uses the Rhode Island Professional Teaching Standards and the aligned rubric of Danielson’s Framework for Teaching as a guiding standard as well as a central assessment mechanism. ETP II integrates theory and practice with standards-based instruction for the culturally relevant classroom. Students will bring their experiences and questions about teaching and learning directly from teaching and/or observations at field sites so the class can address those questions using discussion, research and inquiry. Artifacts of instruction, practice, and assessment will be examined and analyzed.
