EDU 5020 Topics in Jewish Education
This course, aligned with the MTEI seminars, focuses on developing a theory of teaching practice and growth through a combination of readings, discussion, journal exercises, and presentation and analysis of case studies, teaching artifacts and video records of practice. Students are introduced to an array of learning practices rooted in individual elements of the instructional triangle (teacher, students, content, milieu). The course is a learning laboratory in which we practice and reflect upon our own teaching and the culture of teaching we aspire to cultivate in our educational settings.
