EDUC 4202 - Student Teacher Interaction in the Classroom (UG)

This course designed to assist beginning teachers to encounter, reflect upon and simulate classroom practice, and to achieve insight and responsiveness in the flow of classroom interactions. You will examine the various elements that combine to maintain and foster a positive classroom environment and master a range of teacher actions that build the environment as an effective context to encourage learning. Streamable video clips of unedited classroom footage provide rich, real world discussion points. Insights are then applied through your teaching in a simulated classroom. Key Aims: - To explore ways to motivate and to relationally engage with students. - To understand ways of establishing a positive learning environment. - To provide beginning teachers with the practical and theoretical skills and knowledge to effectively orientate themselves in the classroom and to obtain the capacity to dynamically reflect upon their practice.
