EDT-5720: Human Develop Chldhd Good teaching stems from a grasp of the principles and purposes of human development. A vision of development provides the biological and philosophical underpinnings of informed education. By examining the ‘plan’ which directs human growth, we find a basis upon which curriculum can be built. Without this perspective, schooling can become arbitrary and heartless. In this course, we first aspire to discover the universal characteristics of being human while also searching out that which is unique in each of us. To accomplish this, we will pursue theoretical and narrative accounts of development and attempt to reflect on our lives. One of a teacher’s greatest resources is her ability to recall what it felt like as a child. Readings will be from Kegan, Crain, and a variety of other provocative developmental theorists.

EDT-6160: Principles of Sustainability This course will cover the foundational scientific principles that govern all sustainable systems. It will focus on three scientific laws: the law of limits to growth, the second law of thermodynamics which exposes the dangers of increased energy consumption, and the law of self-organization which results in complex, integrated, highly efficient, stable systems. These laws will be examined at various spatial and temporal scales in biological and ecological systems to show how they function in the world around us. We will then apply them to the examination of human systems - organizational, social, economic, and political as well as intentionally designed systems. Students will learn how to evaluate, from a foundational perspective, why practices or policies will either support or thwart sustainability in any system.

EDT-6190: Compassionate Action in the World Compassion and compassionate action in education can be informed by a framework that points to a new and fresh understanding of the source of distress in oneself, one’s students and one’s colleagues. The framework is known as the eight worldly conditions and it posits a sequence of four opposite conditions that are ever changing and impersonal. These four opposites are: pleasure and pain, gain and loss, praise and blame, and fame and disrepute. Understanding distress from the perspective of this framework can help educators to recognize and to shape compassionate action as the most caring and useful response to distress. Through readings and presentations, this course presents the eight worldly conditions and three mindfulness-compassion practices that can help educators to directly connect with their own experience and to wise, compassionate action in the midst of their classrooms and educational contexts.

EDT-6260: The Developing Mind Acting on the belief that everyone is a learner and can learn, teachers will explore theories of child and adult development and current research on brain development and human learning. They will use this information to examine their beliefs about students and learning and to critically reflect on their teaching practice, their work with colleagues and their own professional growth. The course will specifically explore how cognitive, moral, and self-identity development should guide the organization of classrooms and learning experiences. The course will also explore the intersection of student and adult development in classrooms. Teachers are also on a developmental journey and our own level of self-awareness and our capacity to create learning environments that are emotionally safe, kind and effective depend in part on understanding ourselves and the relationship between our developmental needs and the needs of the students we serve. This class will also explore this element intersection of teacher and student development.

EDU-8600: Integrated Essay and Portfolio Students maintain a Portfolio of their mastery of the learning outcomes required for completion of the core and specialization courses. Each time they return to a residency they will spend some time in residency reviewing their progress to date and presenting evidence to their peers and to the faculty. In an Integrated Essay, students will articulate how the five program strands are present in their work and how they have demonstrated the program’s dispositional outcomes in their practice and coursework. Because the program is deeply grounded in practice, the students will demonstrate how their work applies to their practice as individuals and members of a community of practice. As students begin to think deeply about the social justice and ethical impact of their professional practice, they will find ways to demonstrate the ability to communicate that learning with others. Students will make a formal presentation of their portfolio (in person or virtually), demonstrating their learning and connecting it with their path to the Practice-Based Dissertation.
