Accomplished teachers have a rich understanding of the subject(s) they teach and the associated content area pedagogical practices. In this course students will assess their teaching practice in the context of previous coursework, observational experiences, and student teaching. They will apply content area knowledge to contemporary theory through the development of artifacts and reflective pieces related to praxis. Students will also engage in discourse related to emerging social and philosophical issues in teaching to prepare them to be informed practitioners. This course will focus on action research in a classroom situation. Its purpose is to inform students with respect to ongoing pedagogical practices.
