Ambitious Teaching & Learning for Independent School Leaders

1 credits · Peabody College - Professional

In this course students will investigate the practices of teaching and learning as situated, social activities. Through the use of the Ambitious Teaching and Learning framework, students will consider the ways in which teachers’ questions can be a tool for assisting teachers in designing for learning; examine how student learning is influenced by the design of tasks; and cultivate an understanding of the role of teachers’ talk in creating equitable environments for participation. A consideration of how independent school leaders can leverage resources to support teachers in designing environments for ambitious teaching and learning will also be examined. [1]
