EDUE - Graduate Education Elective

This course aids in the development of intercultural communication skills and attitudes for adaptation to the cross-cultural context of the multi-national school community.

This course is designed to prepare teachers and administrators for working in multicultural schools in the international context. Topics covered include understanding third culture kids (TCKs), the school environment, and the educational and interpersonal skills necessary for effectiveness. Self-assessment and reflection are encouraged in order to become healthy, adjusted members of the host country culture, the mission subculture, and the body of Christ in the overseas school.

Research strongly supports the contention that students need to be actively involved in constructing their own knowledge and their own learning. For teachers, this finding has significant implications for the design of instructional strategies and classroom organization. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of creating an interactive classroom through the use of problem-based learning, interactive strategies, and collaborative group work.

This course builds on EDU-554 "Computers in Education" by extending the uses of computer technology to additional instructional and classroom management purposes. Teachers will be assisted in moving to more transforming uses of technology (as opposed to literacy uses, a term used by Porter, http://www.bjpconsulting.com/spectrum.html). This course will provide participants with more advanced methods for integrating technology into the learning process. Tools will also be explored that would save teachers time and help organize their craft.

Compelling research across a broad spectrum of educational arenas clearly indicates that students learn and achieve better in a positive and inviting learning environment that emphasizes mutual respect and caring. Building Communication and Teamwork in the Classroom is a Performance Learning Systems course that equips experienced and beginning P-12 educators with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to foster an emotionally engaging classroom. The selected strategies that participants will learn and practice are designed to improve teacher expertise in five specific areas: leadership, communication and listening, positive thinking, student support, and team building. Collectively, these skills are at the center of what makes excellent teachers successful and what allows students of all abilities and backgrounds to thrive. Not open to students who have received credit in EDU-500.

This course equips experienced and beginning P-12 educators with the essential knowledge and skills to implement differentiated instruction (DI) successfully in their own classrooms. In a highly interactive learning environment that models the DI principles and processes participants will learn, class members will gain expertise in understanding and implementing a broad range of strategies associated with three essential, distinguishing components of DI: first, the teachers role as guide and facilitator in a classroom environment specifically designed to support self-directed student learning and teacher-student collaboration; second, the interdependent nature of flexible grouping and assessment in a DI classroom; and third, the adaptation of curriculum content, processes (activities), and products to provide students with entry points to learning that match their readiness, interests, and/or learning profiles. Not open to students with credit in EDU-588.

This course provides research-based active reading comprehension strategies which participants can apply to their grade level or content area. By learning how to implement these metacognitive reading strategies, participants will be able to plan lessons more effectively. Participants will also discover how to engage students, deepen their understanding of content, and prepare them for success beyond the classsroom. Emphasis is on learning styles, types of text, notation systems, content-area reading, assessments, fluency, motivations, and grade-level vocabulary.

This course will combine technology skills acquisition with strategies for integration of digital tools into differentiated instructional practices in P-12 learning environments. Candidates will design activities that demonstrate appropriate ways to use digital technology to meet existing curricular objectives, to expand curricular options and to facilitate meaningful learning experiences for all the students in their P-12 instructional settings.

This course takes a developmental approach to reading and literacy instruction in preschool and elementary school. Using the "five pillars" of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) as an organizational framework, teachers will explore the characteristics of emergent, beginning, and transitional readers and plan and implement developmentally appropriate assessments, materials, and strategies for instruction, including effective use of current technologies. Effective planning and organization in the literacy classroom are emphasized.

This course takes a developmental approach to reading and literacy instruction for the elementary grades.

This course provides educators with research-based interventions in the behavioral, academic, and social areas of student performance. Through a multi-tiered response to the intervention model, educators implement a solution seeking cycle for gathering information, identifying issues, and planning and assessing early and effective interventions. The course focuses on the teacher as the primary interventionist and includes universal and targeted interventions for the classroom that promote student resiliency and encourage students to reach for success. It emphasizes creating a learning alliance with students to demystify the learning experience, focus on strengths-based learning, collaboratively set goals, and monitor the progress of behavioral, academic, and social interventions.

Collaborative inquiry fosters the skills students need now and in the future to develop a deeper understanding and mastery of content knowledge and skills. Participants will experience and evaluate the collaborative inquiry models of problem-based learning, hypothesis-based learning, project-based learning, Appreciative Inquiry, performance-based learning, and live-event learning.

This course provides an opportunity for students to investigate the influence that contemporary social issues exert on systems of formal education. In particular, students will examine change processes as they occur in education and acquire the basic skills needed to serve as agents of change in the lives of individual students, the education profession, and society at large. They will examine the ways in which current issues and agendas for change require a stable, defensible set of core values. Not open to students with credit in EDU-545 or EDUE-545. Prerequisite: Master of Education or special permission.

Contemporary Issues in Christian Education provides an opportunity for students to accomplish four major objectives. First, students will examine the links between education and its interpersonal context. Second, students will explore the ways in which teachers can serve as agents of change in the lives of their individual students, the education profession, and society at large. Third, students will study the ways in which contemporary issues and agendas for change demand the formation of a critically examined yet stable and defensible foundation of core values. Graduate students examine the ways in which a core of Christian values addresses contemporary issues and agendas for change. Fourth, out of the foregoing discussions, students will write a working draft of a Professional Mission Statement. This mission statement will serve as foundation for developing the Applied Masters Portfolio throughout the rest of the M.Ed. course of graduate studies.

Christian Philosophy of Education provides an introduction to a biblical worldview and a Christian philosophy of education. It requires students to examine the presuppositions upon which they base their personal and professional actions and behaviors, and has them develop a coherent worldview by reflecting on and answering the metaphysical, epistemological, and axiological questions. Additionally, the course leads students to develop a philosophy of education based on their worldview, and uses that philosophy to address issues relative to teaching, including the nature and potential of the student, the role of the teacher, the content of the curriculum, teaching methodology, and the social function of the school. This course is open only to those seeking ACSI or other Christian School certification.
