EDUC500-01 Child Development 3 Pollock, Wendy Sharon Tuesdays 07:00-09:00PM
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.

Radical Possibilities of Education: Explore Race-Based Issues in Education

Bank Street-educated students understand that teaching is not apolitical and classrooms “remain the most radical space of possibility” (hooks, 1994). This collaborative inquiry will give graduate students the opportunity to explore the historical origins of contemporary issues surrounding race in education (ie. abolitionist teaching, anti racist teaching, race-based affinity groups,...); this exploration will support students in building an area of inquiry regarding how and why these practices may or may not enter into pedagogical practices. Participants will utilize recent scholarship to identify core issues through the lens of race and will be supported in the development of a change project.

Examining Development Through a Social Justice Lens

During the pandemic many child life specialists and child life programs were asked to create and develop virtual experiences for children in hospital and community settings. These experiences ranged from live virtual play and preparation experiences to closed circuit television shows and productions to pre-recorded expressive art activities. This student faculty collaboration will examine the different ways to engage with children in virtual spaces that address the social emotional needs of children in the hospital or community setting. Students will engage in discussions with each other and with child life specialists who are new or experienced in developing virtual programming. Students will be asked to research and reflect about the benefits and challenges of virtual opportunities across age bands and the implications of language, ses, and culture regarding virtual platforms and experiences when making their own choices as they develop and design a virtual experience.

(Students will be expected to present at the IMP shares.)

EDUC500-R1 Child Development 3 Costa, Jennifer S. Mondays 07:00-09:00PM
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.

This course is for students in the Online Early Childhood and Childhood Programs only. Permission of the Director is needed for all other students. Note under heading: Courses within this program are for students enrolled in fully online programs only. This course will meet synchronously on some of these dates. Alternative dates will be used for small group or individual meetings.
EDUC505-R1 Language Acquisition and Learning in a Linguistically Diverse Society 2 Costa, Luisa Wednesdays 07:00-09:00PM
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 is for students in the Online Early Childhood and Childhood Programs only. Permission of the Director is needed for all other students. This course will meet synchronously on some of these dates. Alternative dates will be used for small group or individual meetings.
EDUC514-R1 Curriculum in Early Childhood Education for Inclusive and Special Education Settings 3 Kirton, Tara Thursdays 07:00-09:00PM
This course provides a framework for developing curriculum that engages all children in authentic meaning making about themselves and their wider world.  Participants use principles of child development and developmental variation as a foundation for planning experiences that support deep learning.  The course focuses on curriculum as the core vehicle for affirming children’s developing identities, including cultural and linguistic identity. Using social studies as the core of an integrated curriculum, participants plan using diverse materials, modalities, content, and perspectives to help children examine big questions. Participants use universal design principles to create learning experiences that are inclusive of a broadly diverse range of learners.

This section is for students enrolled in fully online early childhood special education program only. This course will meet synchronously and asynchronously. You must be available for synchronous sessions each Thursday 7-9 pm throughout the semester. Your instructor will share the specific synchronous dates at your first session.

EDUC530-R1 Foundations of Modern Education 3 Meyers, Makila Tuesdays 07:00-09:00PM
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.

EDUC540-R1 Mathematics for Teachers in Diverse and Inclusive Educational Settings (Grades N - 6) 2 Spruill, Helen Thursdays 07:00-09:00PM
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.
