This is a year long course for Master of Education teaching credential students in the Multicultural Urban Secondary English (MUSE) teacher preparation program. The course prepares students to plan a teacher research project, collect and analyze the data and then write up a MA thesis.EDUC195A Teachers' Work
This course is offered as part of the undergraduate minor in education. The course examines the multiple dimensions of teachers work by drawing on theories of teacher socialization and teacher professional learning, and exploring representations of teachers in the media and popular culture, as well as in relevant academic literature. Students are introduced to the current policy, social, cultural, historical, professional, employment and legal context of teachers professional lives in the United States. Students have the opportunity to examine these aspects of teachers work by interacting with teachers in the field.EDUC290A Research on Teacher Education and Learning to Teach
