EDU 540: MANAGING A RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM

This course will provide MAT candidates with the key principles that highlight effective management of a responsive early childhood classroom. Candidates will investigate how to combine differentiated instruction and meaningful, challenging academic tasks with a caring environment where the spirit of each learner is nurtured, where a sense of community is promoted, and where students accept the challenge of academic rigor, work together, take responsibility for their learning, and feel comfortable in taking the risks that allow them to learn. Prerequisite: Stage I Admission (Candidacy).
