Course Description:

EDN 495: The Teacher, Learner & the School

The first of the Alternative Pathway to Teaching Program undergraduate courses focuses on the basics of effective teaching, instructional planning, and the use of technology in the classroom. It will include such topic areas as educational psychology, instructional planning, introduction to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, learning styles, relationships, and school governance. The program and course sessions are delivered by a team of accomplished educators drawn from Watson School of Education faculty and public school partners.

A blended model for delivery and participation in the class will include face-to-face sessions at the two sites (Coastal Community College and UNCW), simultaneous engagement between both sites through the use of Distance Learning Classrooms, and on-line learning modules. The format for class sessions will include instructional lectures, discussions (large and small groups), cooperative learning tasks, and hands-on technology labs.

As with all courses and programs in the Watson School of Education, this course is aligned with our Conceptual Framework and is designed to help students become effective decision-makers and reflective practitioners.
