The emphasis in this class in on the student performance & analysis of woodwind music. Students prepare & perform for Artist Teachers who offer insights into technical & interpretive topics including phrase shaping, expressive timing, ornamentation, & extended techniques.

Introduces students to seminal ideas and perspectives that inform our discipline. Begins inquiry into several complex questions: How might English be conceived as a school subject? How might language be learned and used? How and why might literature be read and experienced? What are the possible relationships among reading, talking, listening and thinking? What issues are influencing the teaching of English today? What are the possible roles for the English teacher?

Students use and apply principles of nutrition for healthy mothers, infants, children, and adolescents using an equity lens with an emphasis on current research related to normal growth and development from a community and public health perspective.

This course covers material that is required as prerequisite knowledge for many of the advanced courses offered by ASH in their APSTA sequence. Concepts covered include the following: advanced algebra, pre-calculus, basic matrix algebra, and basics in calculus (derivatives and integrals); probability of events, simple probability rules, common probability distributions, expectations; exploratory statistics, correlations, law of large numbers, t-tests, and regression; basic coding in R,
RMarkdown conventions, loops, functions, and simple statistical operations.

Graduate mathematics course targeted to students in mathematics education to develop mathematical knowledge for research & teaching in mathematics education. This knowledge includes developing skills in problem solving- problem posing- extending problems- & deeply exploring K-12 mathematics from a disciplinary perspective.

The course focuses on significant aspects and perspectives of mathematical proof and proving, e.g.: The need for proof; Various types of mathematical proofs and their logical foundation; Communicating and presenting proofs coherently and flawlessly; Visual proofs; Alternative ways of proving a given statement; Mathematical fallacies. Lessons will be structured around activities that engage students in constructing formal proofs, searching for multiple ways of proving various mathematical statements, evaluating each others' proofs, attending to visual entailments, and detecting flaws in mathematical fallacies.

The course introduces elements of mathematical proof, focusing on three main themes: 1. The meaning of mathematical statements – universal/existential; 2. The roles of examples in determining the validity of mathematical statements; 3. The various forms and methods of mathematical proofs, including Direct (deductive) proof; proof by exhaustion; indirect proof (by contradiction, or by contrapositive); mathematical induction; disproof by counterexample. This is a problem-based course. Lessons are structured around activities that engage students in doing proofs that are meaningful to them and based on mathematical topics with which they are familiar

How mathematics is learned through the social experiences of young children. Analysis of activities in early childhood settings that help children develop insight into mathematics both as a study in itself & as a tool for applied use. Focus on the mathematical concepts that infuse young children's experiences, the use of mathematical tools in young children's learning, methods for adapting math curriculum for learners with diverse abilities, & the relationship of mathematical learning to all areas of the curriculum.

How mathematics is learned through the spatial/temporal worlds of young children. Analysis of activities in early childhood settings that help children develop emerging, unprejudiced mathematical awareness. Focus on the mathematical environment that respects all learners as a means to build upon children's existing mathematical perceptions & expand and further those reading.

Programming for MIDI, C, and other appropriate techniques. Design and implementation of software sequencers, interface drivers, and hardware applications will be the focus.

The theoretical basis, principles, and techniques of kinesiological electromyography and motion analysis of normal and abnormal human motion.

The theoretical basis, principles, and techniques of dynamometry; the integration of kinesiological electromyography, motion analysis, and dynamomtry.
