Five Faculty Receive Steinhardt’s Teaching Excellence Award

The Award honors outstanding teaching effectiveness both in and out of the classroom.

How Do I Know What All My Students Know?

This course focuses on assessment as an integral dimension of teaching and learning. Our goals are to examine the role of assessment in designing and implementing IEPs for students with disabilities, and apply evidence-based assessment practices to address learning outcomes and enhance understanding for all students. This course encourages interns to examine the uncertainty that lies at the heart of teaching- and to identify practices that promote equitable learning opportunities for all.

How Do I Make a Difference and Build Leadership through Participatory Action Research?

This culminating module focuses on a year-long participatory action research (PAR) journey. PAR is characterized by a collaborative process of inquiry and action for change in response to organizational or community challenges. Interns engage in a cycle of inquiry that focuses on the process of designing, creating, implementing, and practice radical listening, and being mindful learners and leaders. Interns are encouraged to reflect on the process and how it helped them develop student leadership, advocacy and voice as leaders.

How Can I Teach Literacy Throughout Development?

This module focuses on the development of literacy in middle childhood and the ways teachers can facilitate this development. We examine the theoretical and practical issues with an emphasis on developing academic competence. Literacy is explored as a cross-|disciplinary tool for thinking- learning and doing. Students learn how students acquire increasing control over the demands of language in ever-expanding social and academic contexts- how the practices of schooling can support multiple literacies- how to observe processes- and to use this data to inform instruction.

How Can I Navigate Curriculum and Integrate Arts?

This module challenges students to consider how teachers re-purpose and re-contextualize content within frameworks and approaches including an equity-centered Design Thinking framework and Universal Design for Learning. This course examines the historical and cultural underpinnings of curricular frameworks and explores how to reshape curriculum and integrate arts to affirm a range of student identities and abilities.

How Can I Teach History, Civics and Global Awareness for All?

In elementary school, social studies plays an integral role in students’ sense of identity and community. Here we explore civic engagement, communities, global awareness, history, current events, and culture. We consider the place and meaning of social studies education and connect content to the needs and diversity of students with IEPs and multilingual learners. We consider diverse perspectives of content, critique and create materials and plans for constructing social studies learning environments that integrate engagement with communities and families.
