  27. Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? none
  28. What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Doctorate in mathematics education
  29. Objectives: 1. The ability to examine the nature of the content in tasks presented to students, the use of questioning, the use of motivation and teaching strategies, the verbal interactions of students, the use of class time, and the use of task orientation of individuals or groups of students.

    2. The ability to examine, develop, implement, and reflect on lessons created and taught in a mathematics classroom.

    3. The ability to examine issues related to diversity in the classroom in terms of teacher expectations and stereotyping.

    4. The ability to conduct case studies to examine the thinking of students.

  30. Learning Outcomes: • Candidates will complete a series of focused reflections based on guidelines provided by the instructor.

    • Candidates will work with a small group of students on a regular basis to provide assistance according to students’ needs and document the experiences.

    • Candidates will work with an individual student on a regular basis to provide assistance according to the student’s needs and document the experience.

    • Candidates will teach at least 6 lessons, to include at least one lesson dealing with technology, at least one using guided discovery, at least one using cooperative groups, and at least one with an interdisciplinary connection. Candidates will submit written reflections about the lessons along with their lesson plans.

  31. Major Topics: 1. Developing and delivering instructional plans
