Prerequisite(s): TLRN 523. Restriction(s): Available only to students who have been accepted into the new Urban Teacher Residency Program. This course focuses on the intersections of curriculum development, student assessment, and inclusion. Through a combination of classroom practice and academic study, residents acquire knowledge, skills and dispositions to build inclusive classroom communities, plan and implement short- and long-term instruction to meet diverse student needs, incorporate family and community cultures and languages into the classroom, implement practices specific to their content area certification, develop a range of formative assessments for student learning, and use assessment data to inform practice. Residents are introduced to a range of transformative teaching approaches such as culturally relevant/sustaining pedagogies, ethnic studies and healing-centered engagement. In addition, residents develop specific strategies such as Universal Design for Learning and differentiated instruction to work with students with a range of disabilities. Additionally, residents participate in a weekly seminar and are observed by university education, subject area, and school-based faculty. Residents document their ongoing work and reflect on progress through an electronic portfolio.
