Courses

This is the second in a four-course sequence in which students create, assess and refine their portfolios. Portfolios are web-based and include performance observations, case studies, peer ratings, specialty certification, documentation of professional activities, publications, and presentation summaries. At the end of the program, students present their portfolio to a panel of faculty members. The portfolio must document how the student integrated knowledge and skills learned in the curriculum to his or her specialty practice area.

Research on mathematics teacher practice and development is examined through Issues and problems of curriculum, instruction, and evaluation and are considered in relation to sociological, scientific, political insights and influences.

Advanced theory-research integration seminar. Designed to examine, compare, & evaluate theories & conceptual models applicable to the study of complex organizations. Explorations of the relationships between the conceptualization & the design of research. Emphasis placed on the development by students of theoretical bases for doctoral dissertation research.

This course complements the second semester of Student Teaching (MTHED-GE 2922), providing students a professional community of practice for continued learning as their teaching responsibilities increase. The course will focus on specific aspects of planning and intended instruction, enacted teaching, and the impact of teaching. Students will develop practices of deliberate reflection and analysis of their teaching, making explicit connections between their knowledge of theory and practical experiences. There will be an additional focus on pressing local issues in education and education research at the various levels, and their impact on teaching and learning. Students will make sense of these issues and develop informed stances, demonstrating their emerging abilities to do so in connection with their coursework and student teaching experiences in a culminating project.

This course explores the ways in which popular film, TV, and video cultures construct the historical past, the battles that arise among historians and the public over film versions of history, and how such films can be utilized as historical documents themselves. We consider films, TV, and video as products of the culture industry; as visions of popular history and national mythology; as evidence for how social conflicts have been depicted; and as evidence for how interpretations of the past have been revised from earlier eras to the present.

Projects selected by students to reflect their artistic preoccupation or to provide research in particular skills, subjects, or trends in art and media. Students develop major art projects that are fully realized and represent an evolution from sketches to a finished book. Students may work in photography, video art, or digital art.

Focus on particular subjects or techniques allows students to broaden the range of their skills and expression. Projects are chosen as a result of both faculty and student interest. Aesthetic and technical experiences that will enable the student to advance their understanding of the limitless possibilities inherent in the ceramic medium. Emphasis will be placed upon a sculptural/nontraditional approach to making objects in clay and will encourage invention, creative risk, and a personal interoperation of subject matter.
