Fall Semester 2009
9:00 – 9:50 MWF GLSC 108
Catalog Description: This course is designed to introduce the student to the
educational system. It will focus on the history of education and the
philosophies that have influenced our schools today and will analyze current
issues and events that are challenging today’s teachers. Students will be given
the opportunity to study and evaluate local schools by observing ten different
classes, ranging from kindergarten to twelfth grade. A minimum of 10 hours of
observation in local schools (primary, elementary, middle, and high schools) is
required.
Note: This class will use Moodle as the electronic learning management system (LMS). Assignments will be submitted electronically via email and Moodle. In addition, Moodle will provide a means of maintaining a daily schedule and calendar of assignments, communication among class members and the instructor, and easy access to web resources. Update: We may or may not be able to us Moodle. In any case we will still submit assignments electronically as attachments via email.
