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.

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 Chu, Stan Mondays 05:15-06:45PM, Wednesdays 05:15-06:45PM 05/18/2020, 05/20/2020, 05/27/2020, 06/01/2020, 06/03/2020, 06/08/2020, 06/10/2020, 06/15/2020
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.

This course examines the ways in which historical, philosophical, cultural, and political trends have impacted research and pedagogy in the field of literacy (reading, writing, and language arts). Students explore how literacy theory and practice have been influenced by changing visions of teaching and learning; standards and assessment; the roles of special education and the education of English Language Learners; the appropriate nature of home, school, and community relationships; and the needs of the workforce. Students will be expected to use various forms of media and transitional research to deepen their understanding of these issues and become critical readers of research studies and popular reports.
EDUC540-01 Mathematics for Teachers in Diverse and Inclusive Educational Settings (Grades N – 6) 2 O'Shea, Heather J. Mondays 05:15-08:45PM, Wednesdays 05:15-08:45PM 05/18/2020, 05/20/2020, 05/27/2020, 06/01/2020, 06/03/2020, 06/08/2020, 06/10/2020, 06/15/2020
This course provides participants with an overview of mathematics learning for children grades N-6. Participants deepen their own mathematical knowledge while furthering their understanding of effective mathematics instruction. In each session, participants do math together and use these experiences to investigate the development of mathematical thinking and to reflect on their own learning. Participants explore the essential elements of a constructivist mathematics classroom in which collaboration is core to building concepts and skills. Designing a classroom where deep mathematical understanding is the primary goal requires explorations of attitudes and beliefs as well as practices and expectations. This course addresses the moral imperative that all students are capable of learning math. It focuses on creating inclusive environments for learners with developmental variations. The course also focuses on creating mathematical experiences that support students for whom English is a new language. Participants discuss classroom management strategies for grouping and individualizing instruction.
EDUC563-01 The Teaching of Reading, Writing, and Language Arts in the Primary Grades 3 Foster, Xiania G. Tuesdays 05:15-07:15PM, Thursdays 05:15-07:15PM 5/19/2020 - 7/16/2020
This course examines the process through which reading and writing are acquired by young children, ages 4-8.  We study the ways teachers can support literacy growth for children’s diverse learning needs and styles, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and socioeconomic status.  The course explores theoretical frameworks of literacy development as well as practical applications. Graduate students work directly with a child, who is an emergent reader and writer, to develop the skills of close observation, assessment, record keeping, and planning.  Graduate students, individually and as a group, analyze the contexts, activities and relationships that support children’s language and literacy learning in early childhood classrooms.
This class will meet across both Summer 1 and 2 terms, including the intersession.

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.
