Prerequisite: Matriculation in the MTL program.
This integrated course focuses on the formative use of classroom assessment, including developing a repertoire of valid and reliable methods, communicating clear expectations, giving meaningful feedback, and involving students in assessment. Students share experiences and practices with each other, discuss and reflect upon relevant readings, apply learnings in classroom settings, and conduct action research projects to investigate the effects of their own research-based instructional interventions.
EDU 627/628/629 must be completed at USM. Participation in this course requires a full-time or part-time classroom position or ongoing access to a classroom with instructor’s permission. Petitions may be made to the MTL Coordinator for acceptance into the course with an alternative position/plan. Technology-based course accommodations may be made for those students living at some distance from USM. This is a full-year course meeting approximately one Saturday per month during the Fall and Spring semesters, extending into the first summer session —normally the first Saturday after graduation each year. |
