Teaching and Learning

  
  • ASTL 5700 - Portfolio Development

    (3 credits)
    Portfolio Development presents an overview of the portfolio as an authentic assessment tool utilized to document the scholarship of teaching. It introduces educators to the concept of using artifacts/products/teacher work samples as evidence of effective teaching and, then, expands this to include student work samples as supportive evidence of that effectiveness. The course emphasis is focused on collection and presentation of teacher developed instructional examples organized comprehensively to demonstrate the educator’s abilities in six areas: planning and teaching, actual teaching, assessment and evaluation, learning environment, professional growth, and communication. Although the format of the professional portfolio will follow the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards requirements, the student may choose whether or not to submit the portfolio for National Board Certification.

These processes can be supported by technology in a variety of ways. This course is designed to assist teachers to become comfortable with the hardware and software that can be used to create effective literacy learning experiences. In addition, teachers must also know how to find, access, and assess materials from a variety of sources as well as know how to design and develop multi- and hyper- media learning environments that promote active learning. The design and structure of the course will contribute to the professional development of educators to use effectively technology to promote and develop reflective learners-learners that are able to use technology to enhance and expand their learning environment.

  • ASTL 5705 - Assessment of Learning

    (3 credits)
    Assessment of learning for the classroom is an introduction to systematic assessment at the classroom level. The course provides an overview of models for planning and implementing classroom assessment projects. The emphasis in the course, however, is implementation, data collection, analysis, and reporting of results on classroom assessment projects. This course presents a rationale for learning-centered assessment and an overview of the tools, techniques, and issues that educators should consider as they design and use assessments focused on learner needs. Underlying assumptions in the course are: (1) assessment is viewed as deliberately designed to improve and educate student performance, not merely audit it; (2) assessment is a way to help students systematically self-correct their performance; and (3) assessment has two essential qualities (anchoring in authentic tasks and feedback to revise performance). The course examines what it would mean, in reality, if assessment were central to student and teacher work.
