Education 406 (Gp 0.5) Professional In-Service Practicum

Focus: Advancing ?

Improving Educational Practice

This practicum is offered for practicing teachers who wish

to further-their teaching skills in those professional

functions that work towards (a) the creation of more humane

learning environments; (b) the development of self-directed,

autonomous learners; (c) the development of curriculum which

engages pupils in active learning experiences; (d) the prom-

otion of higher-order thinking capabilities. In this prac-

ticum, the teacher's own classroom will serve as the labora-

tory in which teaching is studied, and in which individual

professional development will be promoted.

Education 406 (Gp 5) will include both classroom work

(practicum) and analysis of classroom work (seminars).

The seminars will be held on Thursdays, tentatively in the

evenings. The identification and articulation of teaching

objectives; the examination of classroom functioning with

respect to teaching objectives and training, in individually

selected teaching functions will be emphasized.

Education 406 (Gr 5) is intended for practicing teachers

with a background in open education who have preferably

served as School Associates for S.F.U.'s Open Education

Alternative (OEA).

Dr. Selma Wassermann

Ms. Heather Buchan
