EDCE 6103E Advanced Teaching and Learning in Elementary School Mathematics
This advanced methods course will help teachers use their flexible and comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, their understanding of children’s mathematical learning and development, and their ability to plan and implement instructional units to maximize the learning of all students. Teachers will focus on research-based instructional strategies found to support mathematics achievement of students in diverse urban secondary school classrooms. They will learn to create instructional environments where all students will develop confidence in their ability to do mathematics and are challenged to think critically about the discipline. In addition, candidates will identify a problem of interest and draft a literature review that will serve as a basis for their action research project. Includes 30 hours of fieldwork.
