EDUC 2405U – Foundations III: Long Range Planning and Assessment + 31 days Field Experience

This course examines more deeply the continued interplay of theory and practice drawing upon their experiences, previous course work, and promising pedagogies through practioner inquiry. This course builds upon the theoretical principles that guide assessment within the Ontario context including assessment for learning, assessment of learning, and assessment as learning. The course allows teacher candidates to integrate knowledge of learners, learning, subject matter, pedagogy, assessment, and educational goals to design short-term and long-range plans for their applicable grades and subjects. Major aspects of this course are self-directed; teacher candidates are encouraged to design plans for specific contexts related to career goals. The course further establishes the initial pre-service teacher education foundations upon which beginning teachers could build upon throughout their teaching careers.
