EDUCATION 406 (Group 04) January - April 1985
Education 406 (Surrey) will comprise the following components: class-
room work; seminars, and coursework with a language arts theme.
Classroom Work
Registrants in Education 406 will choose and, through observation and
recording, focus upon selected aspects of life in their classroom in order
to gain an increased understanding of what is occurring in their classroom,
to identify and solve problems, to formulate new goals and set different
directions. On site visits will be provided by resource personnel from
Surrey School District and by the S.F.U. Faculty member.
Seminars/Implementation
Registrants in Education 406 will participate in 4-6 seminars. Seminars
are an open-ended, flexible, individualized forum for dialogue, designed to
provide participants with a framework in which to:
*reflect upon, analyze, and articulate their educational beliefs,
values, and attitudes;
*deepen and extend their understandings about classroom practices.
The focus is twofold:
*firstly
,
to engage participants to deliberate and systematic analysis
of their purposes and intentions in teaching, their classroom
practices, and their teaching experiences;
*secondly, to provide for mutual support and sharing of understandings,
insights, and ideas.
The seminar's mode of operation is one of self-analysis and mutual inquiry.
Participants engage in this process working, at various times, on their own,
in small groups, and in the group-of-the-whole. They work with the support
and help of their peers and the SFU Faculty member who acts as initiator,
catalyst and facilitator.
