Course Descriptions
Teaching, Learning, and Technology
TLT 394. Special Topics in Educ: Examining Physical & Virtual Tools in K-8 Mathematics: Implementing a standards-oriented curriculum in mathematics requires teachers to focus on developing conceptual understanding and mathematical thinking through visual models, strategy development, inquiry, collaboration, and communication. Learning to integrate a variety of manipulatives can support and/or change teaching practices that are used to develop number sense, computation strategies, and mathematical discourse in elementary classrooms and create the bridge between the students’ concrete representations and the abstract conventions of mathematics. This course will explore the connections between curricular objectives, textbooks, programs, and the use of manipulatives to represent mathematical ideas and developing mathematical understandings.
TLT 394-11: Special Topics in Education: Teaching and Learning with Geospatial Tools: Geospatial tools such as Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and Google Earth are powerful, emerging tools for education. This technology can be used to address a broad spectrum of educational topics across all age levels. This course will focus on GIS, Google Earth, and other geospatial tools that are free or affordable, and will use available data sets that can be used across K-12 curriculum. The majority of instructional activities will apply to environmental areas of study. Additional fields will be explored as well.
TLT 406. Tools for Teaching and Learning: Application of technology in school-based instructional settings. This course addresses the use of technology tools and resources to enhance and manage learning. Students will demonstrate skills in design and development of Web sites, evaluation and use of educational software, production and integration of digital media, and other key competencies.
TLT 407. Designing for Teaching and Learning: Theoretical, philosophical and curricular foundations of instruction. This course explores theories of learning and their application, implications for the use of technology, and standards-based education. Special emphasis on planning, developing and assessing instruction. Prerequisite: Successful prior completion of TLT 406.
TLT 420. Reading in Elementary Education: Principles of teaching reading in elementary schools. Selection of appropriate materials, methods, and techniques. Beginning reading instruction and the development of strategies for teaching vocabulary and comprehension in narrative and expository texts.
TLT 422. Language Arts in Elementary Education: Principles of language learning and the development of communication skills in elementary schools. Methods of teaching listening, speaking, handwriting, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Selection of appropriate materials and textbooks.
TLT 428. Mathematics in Elementary Education: Mathematical skills and concepts for the elementary school program. Sets, systems of numeration, experience with numbers, operations with numbers, number concepts and numerals, and elements of geometry.
TLT 432. Reading and Critical Thinking in Middle Level and High School Education: Focuses on expository reading development in content areas such as language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Practical teaching strategies in critical areas, such as comprehension and study skills. Review of research and methods for improving the reading development of students.
TLT 474. Budgeting, Maintaining, & Evaluating Technology: Generating budgets for technology implementation,
planning for maintenance and continuity in technology
services, evaluating the effectiveness and impact of technology
implementations.
EDUC 493. Internship in (subtitle): Opportunity for students to apply theory to practice in a variety of educational settings. Students will be supervised in the field and participate in seminars dedicated to addressing specific concerns and issues encountered during their experience. Prerequisite: consent of the program director.
EDUC 494. Field Work in (subtitle): Identification of significant problems in an educational environment, review of the literature, and development of appropriate research plans.
EDUC 495. Independent Study in (subtitle): Individual or small group study in the field of specialization.
Approved and supervised by the major adviser. May be repeated.
LST 420. Critical Reading and Writing: Using literature to build persuasive written arguments. Searching and identifying promising sources, distilling research findings, synthesizing literature to support an argument, and organizing written materials to enhance persuasiveness. Suited to those writing qualifying projects, dissertation proposals, dissertations, funding proposals, conference proposals, and journal articles.
