EDUC 209 Teaching & Facilitating Learning–Level 2

3 CR

This course guides instructors through the process of moving from a teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered learning environment and prepares instructor-learners to assist students to become a productive part of a learning community. Instructor-learners further examine and fine-tune multiple modes of instruction beyond those in Level 1 including class discussion, case studies, role-plays and student self-assessment. Using the universal cycle of learning with the fours essential elements of Preparation, Presentation, Practice, and Performance, instructor-learners develop model lessons and instructional models as well as developing model facilitation practices for establishing learning communities within the classroom. This course is particularly helpful to experienced instructor-learners who wish to hone and apply their facilitation and instructional delivery skills and deepen their understanding of how students learn. Focus is on preparing instructor-learners to be facilitators as well as dynamic presenters and on increasing the quality of instruction and self-assessing their own effectiveness.
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of EDUC 207 with a grade of C or higher .
