  • SPIR-3030: Practicing Self-Compassion: Meditations on Self-Care

    It is often the case that we are our own most unrelenting critics. Many deeply compassionate people do not give themselves the same level of nurturing that they would to a good friend.

We live in a time when many of us are barraged with past and present traumas, feelings of anxiety, as well as notions of inadequacy amidst the complexities of our age. In this class, we will learn together how to be our own best advocate in order that we may better serve others with heart and in fullness.

  • SSC-5750: Topics Course: XXXX

    Topics courses are inquiry-based investigations of a subject matter that involve dialogical interactions between a faculty member and several students who jointly explore the same subject matter from different perspectives as part of a learning community. Each student chooses their own direction of inquiry about the topic and then shares and reflects with the community weekly while pursuing their self-defined area of intellectual pursuit. Through interactive weekly dialogues, students can enrich their own investigations while making connections, revealing similar patterns, and differentiating between their specific lines of investigation and those pursued by others in the course. Faculty members work to create a common ground, providing a more robust learning experience that deepens a singular form of self-defined inquiry through a community.

  • TEP-6225: Professional Inquiry & Collegial Observation II

    Through focused conversations involving introspection and meaning construction with self and others, candidates will identify and strengthen their own theory of practice and their ability to construct theory from applied contexts. By selecting from significant personal experiences of teaching and learning related to the standards required by the advanced course of study, and posing questions related to these experiences, candidates will participate in conversations over time with their critical friends. Videotapes, collegial observations and artifacts of teaching will be used to ground the development of theoretical constructs and growth of classroom facilitation skills. By participating in a sustained community of practice, candidates will be supported in their growth over time. Candidates will enhance their ethnographic note taking/note making skills and their capacity for constructive conversation.

  • TEP-6225.LA: Professional Inquiry & Collegial Observation V

    Throughout the Induction Program Clear Credential candidates take TEP 6221 - 6226 Professional Inquiry and Collegial Observation (PICO). The main purpose of these 2-unit courses is for candidates to become familiar with the Antioch Domains (CSTPs + 2) and to develop an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) that will facilitate their growth around these standards. Candidates are asked to think about the opportunities they have to practice and evaluate their own teaching in relation to the domains and to plan traditional and alternative ways to meet the standards. Candidates formalize this thinking in an Individualized Learning Plan, which identifies areas for of growth for the candidate’s teaching practice, plans for how the growth will take place, and includes ways in which the growth might be documented and assessed. Another purpose of PICO is to help candidates find and build professional relationships which will help support them as they begin in the profession. They are taught collegial coaching practices and a community of practice is established within the class. Candidates are also encouraged to learn about in-service opportunities in their schools and in the larger teaching community, form collegial relationships and take additional course work to support their application and integration of learning in these areas.
