EDC-5510: Integrated Learning This course focuses on integrated learning. It emphasizes approaches to teaching, learning and curriculum design that encourage children to blend subject areas, ways of knowing, practices and skills to explore interesting situations, phenomena and themes. It also examines the basis for these approaches: philosophies that value each student and assume each can learn; ideas about inquiry, responsibility and choice; the belief that learning is an active, social process. This course will provide students with opportunities to acquire a historical perspective on schooling and holistic approaches to education.

EDC-5565: Music Every Day In this course students find their own connections to music-making and explore ways of integrating music across the daily life of their classroom and school community. No prior music experience is needed for this course. Through activities, readings and videos, students will be introduced to theoretical perspectives, practical skills, repertoire, and resources for integrating music into children’s education (grades pre-K through 12). Explorations provide the opportunity to investigate and reflect upon listening as a learned skill, the nature of sound, elements of music, styles and forms of music, music as social history, and integrating music- and sound-based activities with other curricula. Music will be considered as an expression of culture, as an educational tool, as a discipline in its own right and integrated with other academic learning. Assignments include conducting Music Inquiry (drawing upon interviews), keeping a Journal of repertoire and ideas for future use, and development of an Integrated Curriculum Plan (to include sharing one music-based activity designed by students). This course offers strategies for integrating music and dance to promote children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and kinesthetic development, to build community, and to deepen and assess learning.

EDC-5630: Math Methods - Elementary/Early Childhood This course explores the content and pedagogy of mathematics. It is based on the premise that everyone can learn, and that mathematics can be accessible and enjoyable if understanding is derived from experience and strong links are made between experience, abstract ideas and symbols. Beginning with a consideration of how young children learn mathematics, the course will focus on instructional methods for developing mathematical ideas over time. Using concrete materials, students will become actively involved with problems from a range of mathematical strands (number and operations, pattern, geometry, measurement, probability) to illustrate how children can explore mathematics through problem solving and inquiry. This course necessitates access to children for instructional and assessment practice.

EDC-5770: Problem-Solving Science Science in elementary school should be far more than reading the chapter and answering the questions. Observations, hands-on investigations, children’s literature and experiences in nature can all provide starting points for developmentally appropriate curriculum. In this course, we’ll do what scientists do and experience problem-solving science first-hand. Bugs and slugs, materials and their properties, shadows and ice cubes are among the topics we might explore. We’ll examine curriculum resources, look at ways to structure science experiences for children, and consider children’s ideas and questions. In addition, we’ll focus on the relationships between scientific inquiry, informational and research writing, and quantitative thinking, and reflect on current issues, theoretical debates and research in science education.

EDP-5580: Working With Families & Community Nature preschools and forest kindergartens are special kinds of places, different from conventional early childhood programs. Parents, caretakers and community members, who may not be familiar with the aims and practices of nature-based programs, can benefit from education. Families may need to be prepared to provide appropriate outdoor clothing, do regular tick checks, and think about children’s learning in new ways. They may also be called on to volunteer in the school and to help with promotion and fundraising. We’ll consider how to partner with families and forge links to the wider community. Communication is central to our work: we’ll hone our skills as we participate in mock parent conferences, examine and create materials that describe programs to families, and practice working with parents who have questions or concerns.

Topics that will be considered in this course include: hazard identification, appropriate planning for risk, what kinds of risky play to allow and which to discourage, and research on the relationship between nature play and overall health and development. The course will include opportunities to observe a nature-based early childhood program in action

EDR-6200: Practicum-Equity & Change In every learning environment everyday teacher decision-making has an impact on student learning. As sociologist Mica Pollack says, an educational opportunity is distributed and withheld ‘moment to moment.’ She also says, we can ensure within our own schools and classrooms, necessary opportunities to learn and thrive are provided, and distributed equitably. The goal of this practicum is to engage students in a cycle of inquiry around equity in their own teaching practice. Working with their advisor, students will reflect upon and identify important ways in which they might make their practice more equitable in terms of student learning outcomes. They will investigate their own learning needs and equip themselves with additional resources and information that they may need to carry out these improvements in practice. Students will then begin implementation of their cycle of inquiry and reflect on the results of their efforts. Whenever possible, students will be encouraged to do this work in the context of whatever natural professional learning communities already exist in their schools and districts. Advisors will assist students with the development of a cycle of inquiry related to this project, and help connect teachers with resources specific to the challenge they face.

EDR-6920: Practicum-Child Study In this practicum, students will attend to children with the goal of seeing them more clearly and better understanding their strengths as people, learners, and community members. In the process, students will examine their own teaching practice with a specific focus on the developmental appropriateness and efficacy of their curriculum for a specific student or subset of students in their classroom or program. Ongoing observation, reflection, and consultation with the student advisor will inform student practice, allowing them to adjust their approach to include and support children more fully. This practicum encourages teachers to take a descriptive stance and bring open-minded curiosity to their work with children or older learners. It is designed to be carried out in the context of whatever natural professional learning communities already exist in their school and district. Advisers will assist students with the development of a cycle of inquiry related to this practicum.
