EDUC500-01 Child Development 3 Pinkney-Ragsdale, Troy Mondays 05:15-09:00PM, Wednesdays 05:15-09:00PM
In this course we will examine the interactions among the cognitive, social, emotional, linguistic, and physical development of children from infancy into adolescence. We will pay close attention to children as makers of meaning in the contexts of their development, including family, school, socioeconomic class, and culture. Through reading classic and current literature, we will attend to some of the larger questions about development, such as the relationship between nature and nurture, the role of developmental theory, and the tension between the search for developmental universals and the reality of individual differences. The goal is to make developmental theory vibrant and meaningful so that the generalized theoretical child comes to enhance and inform how one understands individual children.
EDUC505-01 Language Acquisition and Learning in a Linguistically Diverse Society 2 Jones, Pamela Michelle Mondays 05:15-08:45PM, Wednesdays 05:15-08:45PM 07/01/2019, 07/03/2019, 07/08/2019, 07/10/2019, 07/15/2019, 07/17/2019, 07/22/2019, 07/24/2019
Based on the belief that language is an essential foundation for learning, this course addresses the typical processes of language acquisition in mono- and multilingual learners. Participants will examine theories of language acquisition and the role that caregivers and educators play in the development of language. In addition, participants will analyze historical, political, educational, social, and emotional factors that influence the socially constructed hierarchies of language varieties. A significant part of the course will be devoted to students who learn English as an additional language. Participants will learn how to use assessment of mono- and multilingual learners to identify appropriate instructional practices for social and academic language use in a range of educational settings. Course participants will also learn about ways of collaborating with families, colleagues, specialists, administrators, and interpreters.
EDUC530-01 Foundations of Modern Education 3 Otoya Knapp, Karina Tuesdays 05:15-09:00PM, Thursdays 05:15-09:00PM
This course examines the historical, philosophical, and cultural roots of contemporary education, including Bank Street’s progressive history and philosophy, the contributions of major educational leaders, and current practices and innovations in education. Participants will analyze how critical issues in the field affect their practice with children and families in schools and communities. The course will explore ways in which education as an avenue for individual advancement and social justice has been defined, advocated for, enacted, and is still being negotiated in the U.S. The course will attend to what has been achieved as well as challenges that remain in creating educational spaces that affirm children’s and families’ race, social class, immigration status, language, gender, and ability, among other identity domains. Participants will apply their understandings to think about their role in bringing about desired, warranted changes in order to create more inclusive and democratic educational environments.
EDUC535-01 Science for Teachers (Grades N – 6) 2 Maldonado, Jasmine Mondays 05:15-08:45PM, Wednesdays 05:15-08:45PM 07/01/2019, 07/03/2019, 07/08/2019, 07/10/2019, 07/15/2019, 07/17/2019, 07/22/2019, 07/24/2019
Science for Teachers focuses on developing a science way of thinking and doing in PreK-6th grade classrooms. Each session deepens an understanding that doing science requires direct sensory encounters with the physical world. By experiencing first-hand investigations of physical and biological materials and related phenomena, participants create a range of representations that can uncover existing patterns and concepts. Discussions, readings, and reflective writings deepen and broaden work done with physical materials. Participants will reflect on their own learning as they work to construct meaningful science experiences that respond to the developmental levels of their students and affirm students’ cultural, linguistic, and learning diversity. The course explores evidence-based ways of making sense of the world that support the integration of science inquiry across the curriculum.
EDUC540-01 Mathematics for Teachers in Diverse and Inclusive Educational Settings (Grades N – 6) 2 O'Shea, Heather J. Tuesdays 05:15-08:45PM, Thursdays 05:15-08:45PM 07/02/2019, 07/09/2019, 07/11/2019, 07/16/2019, 07/18/2019, 07/23/2019, 07/25/2019, 07/30/2019

EDUC564-01 Language, Literature, and Emergent Literacy in the Primary Grades 3 Barth, Janelle Michelle Tuesdays 05:15-09:00PM, Thursdays 05:15-09:00PM
This course examines the role of literature in children’s lives. Participants develop criteria for selecting literature for children, considering factors including but not limited to child development, aesthetics, language, and culture, as well as children’s interests and curiosities. Through active engagement with books, artifacts, and ideas, participants gain an understanding of the role of literature in language development in children’s primary and new languages. Participants will examine ways to use literature from a wide range of genres and perspectives for reading aloud, honoring and stimulating children’s storytelling, and for deepening learning across content areas.
EDUC590-01 Arts Workshop for Teachers (Grades N – 6) 2 Richa, Maria Mondays 09:45-11:45AM, Tuesdays 09:45-11:45AM, Wednesdays 09:45-11:45AM, Thursdays 09:45-11:45AM 7/01/2019 - 7/25/2019
This studio course stresses the relationship of expression in arts and crafts to aspects of teaching and learning in other areas. Students develop approaches for discovering the use and origins of materials as well as their role in the curriculum. The course helps teachers develop a basic art program in their classrooms. Studio experiences include painting, collage, clay work, printmaking, and such crafts as puppet making, dyeing, and weaving. Readings and class discussion deal with the development of art curricula using child development as a base. Students study children’s art through slides and children’s actual work.
EDUC591-01 Music and Movement Workshop for Teachers (Grades PreK-6) 2 Jaffe, Nina Mondays 05:15-08:45PM, Wednesdays 05:15-08:45PM 07/01/2019, 07/03/2019, 07/08/2019, 07/10/2019, 07/15/2019, 07/17/2019, 07/22/2019, 07/24/2019
This course explores the importance of children’s expression through music and movement. Everyone has the capacity to produce music and engage in creative movement. Participants at all levels of experience and skill will learn about and share songs, rhythms, and games from a range of cultural and linguistic traditions. In order to develop strategies for integrating music and movement across the curriculum, participants will engage with topics such as instrument-making from recyclable materials, drumming, sound improvisation, and movement as vehicles for expression and learning. As they engage with creating and reflecting on music and movement experiences, participants will explore the role music and movement play in children’s development in classroom environments.
EDUC803-01 Teaching Students with Disabilities: An Introduction to Disability Theory, Disability Law and Respon 2 O'Shea, Sean Tuesdays 05:15-08:45PM, Thursdays 05:15-08:45PM 07/02/2019, 07/09/2019, 07/11/2019, 07/16/2019, 07/18/2019, 07/23/2019, 07/25/2019, 07/30/2019
