The processes of teaching and learning are central to the educational enterprise. In this course, education professionals examine learning from a variety of perspectives, focusing on supporting academic and co-curricular success in education. They explore curriculum theory and design, with emphasis on the theoretical, practical, and political aspects of curricula. Through a variety of written and applied assignments, they investigate learned societies; make connections to research; develop a course proposal, including a course outline that identifies learning objectives; analyze the influence of technology on education; review and reflect on the importance of the curriculum development process and the role of curriculum to guide instruction and assessment; and develop their own approach to instruction and learning.
