This course focuses on what we know about how human beings learn and grow and the implications of that for classroom content instruction and management practices. Using classroom observations and inquiries as a foundation, students will demonstrate an ability to appropriately apply theoretical frameworks from brain science, cognitive science, and psychology to their work in the elementary and secondary classroom. Effective classroom management practices based in sound psychological and educational research will be the major emphasis of the course. This course taken at the graduate level requires additional readings and assignments.
