PM 650 - Teaching in Higher Education


Theoretical and practical foundations and emerging methods in the art and science of teaching, particularly at the graduate and adult learner levels, are the foci of this course. Developing, implementing and evaluating the dynamics of learning climate and course construction are critical course dynamics. Using curriculum development tools such as essential questions and curriculum mapping methods to align assessment, content and standards, students will develop collaborative teaching methods appropriate to working with adult learners. The course guides students to formulate a teaching style that is built upon self-awareness and self-assessment and which capitalizes on their individual personality and talents. (2 credits)
