EDU 6543 - Technology and Curriculum Development

Credits, 3 sem. hrs.

The course will focus on curriculum, instruction, and assessment in the Independent school setting. Students will consider the philosophical, historical, and psychological foundations for lower and upper school curriculum, explore instructional strategies and the importance of subject mastery. Additionally, students will examine technology as part of the intellectual landscape and how it is changing distinct disciplines. The design and use of new technologies make possible new approaches to learning, new contexts for learning, new tools to support learning, and new understandings of the dynamics of the learning process itself. Students will explore technology-related strategies that align instructional technology to standards-based instruction, teach problem solving and higher-order thinking skills, promote cooperative learning, and use reflective teaching and inductive approaches to increase student achievement.
