EDU 317 Creating Dynamic Classrooms
To finalize their general education at The University of Tampa, Education majors will participate in this culminating experience that requires them to apply the skills they acquired during their years as a Spartan by completing the interdisciplinary Culminating Experiences projects. This course utilizes perspectives and content from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Education to help teacher candidates reflect on and apply their University of Tampa education (from their major and Spartan Studies) to the complexities of today's classrooms. Teacher candidates will explore ethical considerations and the needs of learners, including linguistic responsiveness, developing effective strategies for curriculum, learning environments, and teacher-learner interactions. The course emphasizes evidence-based practices for creating a climate of inquiry and support. Candidates will develop proficiency in decision-making and responsive teaching, acquiring the knowledge and skills to implement effective, research-based instructional practices that positively impact student learning.
