Seminar on Instructional Practice and Pedagogy (TPP 403)

The Seminar on Instructional Practice and Pedagogy (TPP 403) is taken concurrently with TPP 404 Clinical Practice. The course is structured by four broad themes: The Learner and Learning, Content Knowledge: Planning Instruction and Assessment, Instructional Practice and Pedagogy, and Professional Responsibilities. Major course assignments address these themes through a focus on the research and practice of meeting the needs of diverse learners. 

The course is designed to help students connect theory and practice, become self-reflective practitioners, use data from formative and summative assessments to inform instruction, and to prepare for full-time student teaching.
