EDU 573 Understanding Learners
This course is an orientation to the diverse characteristics, interests and readiness of learners, and how educators learn to recognize different learning profiles when planning for effective learning. The course draws upon learning theory, human development, affective neuroscience and socio-cultural trends to prepare educators to navigate building relationships with learners and their parents and consider “learner-centered” and “learning centered” designs. Bridge to residencies: students will develop inquiry and inventory tools to get to know their learners. This course includes 10 hours of clinical supervision in which the student will apply the topics and theories of the course in their residency work.
