Teaching Strategy and Pedagogy Assignment

OVERVIEW

Vocabulary has been linked to academic, reading, and writing success in the post-secondary setting. Language and terminology development are essential to effectively reading and understanding subject-area specific material (teaching methods, pedagogy, differentiated instruction, etc.). Research has shown that vocabulary and skill development is most effective when you construct your own meaning (even at the doctoral level) as well as a visual representation of terms or concepts. Throughout the first 4 weeks of this course, you will develop a personal teaching strategy and pedagogy glossarywhere you can record important or unfamiliar words, topics, concepts, and teaching methods you would like to explore. You are highly encouraged to develop this glossary throughout the beginning of this course as you encounter challenging terms, concepts or teaching methods that you do not understand, and/or teaching methods you plan to use in your classroom.  This assignment will require you to identify and wrestle with personal meanings as you develop an understanding of relevant terminology and concepts, and it will also serve as a diagnostic self-monitoring tool. The glossary will represent your journey throughout this course.  (MLO: A, B, C, D)
