SSTE 315 - Foundations of Secondary Educ

Upper Division

This course serves as the introductory course to the Single Subject Credential Program and to the art of teaching. To catalyze quick growth into the practice and profession of teaching as well as orientation to the Saint Mary’s Single Subject Credential Program, this intensive course is intended to function as an extensive advance organizer (an overview or cognitive roadmap for the content to follow), as well as an immersion into gaining a critical foundation of the complex ecology of the classroom and our systems of education.Within this class, we consider who we are and what we wish to offer to the profession of teaching and to the communities in which we serve. We examine our own experiences and perspectives about communities, schools, teaching, and learning. As we interrogate our educational backgrounds, we also learn about the socio-historical foundations of education and how we may embark on the journey of becoming collaborative and transformative educators.
