Seminar on Education-Theory and Practice

Undergraduate catalogue

TPP 405 is taken concurrently with Practice Teaching (TPP 406). The seminar is designed to support students' TPP 406 student teaching experience. It covers three broad themes: the cultural dimensions of teaching and learning; planning, assessment, and academic language; and foundations of education, including policy, philosophy, and curriculum theory. Readings focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of teaching. Seminar discussions are designed to assist students in applying concepts and skills to their TPP 406 student teaching experience and to develop foundational knowledge to support professional decision-making.
