Description

Content Methods Laboratory Classes Overview Join us in person or virtually as we investigate the best ways to use the semester-long methods course. This year, we are offering two laboratory classes, one in mathematics and one in English language arts (ELA). In both classes, TeachingWorks instructors will teach a three-hour daily methods course to teacher candidates while you observe and discuss the class, and participate in an optional workshop. These laboratory classes will be excerpts of full, semester-long methods courses, and observing participants will be provided with the syllabus for the full class. The laboratory class instructors will introduce problems of practice for consideration in each daily pre- and post-class discussion, and will also invite participants to raise their own questions and ideas. This will allow for rich conversations about the design of practice-based courses, including what we have time to include in one semester. Location, Participation Expectations, and Other Logistics The ELA and Mathematics Content Methods Laboratory Classes will take place June 5-9, 2023 in person at the University of Michigan School of Education in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The ELA session will run daily between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET. The mathematics session will run daily between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET. Both sessions will be live-streamed for those attending virtually. Connection information will be shared with participants before the program. Both sessions will include a pre-class discussion, observation of the methods laboratory class, lunch break, post-class discussion, and optional workshop. All observers must attend the daily pre-class discussion, whether or not they are participating in the optional workshop. Participation in the post-class discussion is optional for those not joining the workshop but strongly encouraged for all. Schedule Please review the tentative schedule for the event here.
