EDU 167 Principles of Secondary Curriculum And Content Area Modules
Principles of Secondary Curriculum is a continuation of EDU 166 and focuses on the teacher as curricular decision-maker and instructional designer. Candidates deepen their knowledge of assessment of student development design and delivery of instruction, and educational equity. Candidates use backwards design to create longer connected learning sequences or units of instruction and develop performance assessments anchored in the California content standards for their discipline. Content Area Modules for each of the content areas are integrated into this course. These modules address content-specific instructional and curricular strategies. Each candidate is enrolled in his/her specific content area module and works with a Content Area Coach a current expert teacher in that discipline.(Often cross-listed with EDU 267.) Note: Approximately 15 hours of fieldwork in the Content Area Coach's classroom is required. Candidates must have access to transportation to the fieldwork site. Prerequisite: EDU 166. For undergraduates, official acceptance in the Secondary Teacher Preparation Program with a passing CBEST score.(Submission of Certificate of Clearance is required for eligibility to complete this course due to the fieldwork component.)
