CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

COURSE DETAILS:

The purpose of this course is to further develop reflective practitioner skills and understandings, connect individual experiences to larger societal issues present in educational settings, and engage the intersections between research, theory, and practice as future educators. The goals of this course will be three-fold: knowledge acquisition, self-reflection, and application to practice.

Building on the experience of EDUC 252, prospective educators will continue to develop their reflective practice. We will have opportunities to reflect on what it means to be educated, to share teaching styles, and to reflect on how teaching can grow based on feedback received from others and on self-reflection.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
