EDUC 858 - Understanding Professional Learning

This course focuses on developing the skills needed to design and implement professional development programs for in- service teachers. Course content will revolve around change theory, the principles of adult learning, the stages of teacher development, and the responsibilities for personal and professional growth and development, which are shared between the classroom practitioner and building- and district- level leadership. The development of learning communities, providing job-embedded professional development, and the utilization of peer mentoring will also be explored as plausible delivery systems for on-going, high quality professional development. Specific field assignments will be an integral component of this course.

Credits: 4
