EDU 530 - Culminating Seminar: Professionalism & Social Justice

This course examines professionalism during the candidate’s student teaching experience through a social justice lens. The class will be completed through research and analysis in the student teaching classroom with consideration for social justice; candidates will participate in on-line discussions with their instructor, and complete a presentation at a professional conference. Candidates actively participate in a professional conference by sharing some aspect(s) of their teaching and reflection. The ability to publicly share one?s reflective thoughts, or how one connects a set of ideas (or actions, teaching strategies, curriculum, etc.) to another set of ideas (literacy theories, social justice theories, etc.) is a key characteristic of professionalism. Please contact department for information on this course.
