Course Delivery DEFINITIONS:
- Online Courses: In online teaching, 100% of instruction takes place online via Canvas and with supplemental platforms like Zoom. There are two types of online courses: asynchronous and synchronous.
- Asynchronous online: Course is fully online, with lessons, assignments, and activities posted in Canvas with due dates. Students complete coursework, engage in discussions, etc., based upon their own schedules, but are required to meet posted deadlines.
- Synchronous online: Online course that includes real-time class meetings using technology (e.g. Zoom). The number of required meetings varies based upon the particular class, but meetings take place during the scheduled class times. Faculty will inform students of the schedule for real-time meetings in their courses.
- Hybrid Courses: Hybrid courses combine both in-person, on-campus meetings with online instruction. All face-to-face activities take place during the regularly-scheduled meeting times in the rooms assigned on the course listing. The number of people in classrooms is limited by social distancing requirements, and the number of in-person meetings varies by course. Faculty will notify students of the exact meeting schedule for their courses.
If your class is not listed as online or hybrid, it will meet fully face-to-face with proper social distancing following the noted class schedule.

Students will study a variety of competing factors (philosophical, historical, sociological, and political) that have influenced past and present debates, theories, and developments in education. The influences of such factors on current models of curriculum and instruction and on state and national K-12 standards will be considered. The consideration of these factors will trace the development of programs for pupils with diverse needs. Students will investigate and analyze the interrelationships of the individual, the home, the community, and the society with regard to schooling. Students will examine their personal educational perspectives and, through reflective study, develop new understandings of the purposes of schooling, the nature of the learner, and the roles of teachers, including the role of the teacher as an agent of change. Basic elements of planning (educational aims, goals, and objectives) and research-based practices are introduced. A 5-hour field experience is required. Students must obtain fingerprint clearance prior to beginning field experiences.
