EDD8358 Teacher Mentoring and Coaching
In this course, learners gain knowledge of teacher performance assessment and evaluation systems as well as coaching and mentoring models and techniques and apply the skills necessary to mentor and coach new and veteran teachers. Learners identify independent professional activities related to these topics through the creation of four different project descriptions: an action research monograph, a program evaluation, a curriculum product, and a change management plan. Learners then select a specialization-aligned topic and create a proposal for one independent professional activity to expand and apply their knowledge. In addition, learners organize their Professional Showcase Portfolio and demonstrate their understanding through a critical analysis of program outcomes. For EdD and EdS Teacher Leader in K-12 Studies learners only. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
