The goal of teacher preparation programs is to prepare reflective practitioners for a pluralistic society through research-based professional programs. This course is designed to reflect three basic goals: Developing a repertoire of teaching practices and reflection upon those practices; developing effective habits of mind and using theory and research on teaching and learning as a basis for the reflective practice. Students completing this course should develop a repertoire of methods of teaching and develop the ability to critique teaching according to the standards of the specific models. Reflections on teaching models should include consideration of philosophical issues concerning the models of teaching as well as theory and research studied in class. The format for the class will include: (1) presentations of the theory and the research base behind effective teaching strategies, techniques and procedures; (2) analysis of various methods and (3) opportunities to explore the relation of theory to practice..
