Technology

Technology is a cross-cutting theme in all Clarkson Master of Arts in Teaching courses. Candidates are continually expected to use technology in service to their curriculum design and instruction with a focus on modeling and teaching effective applications of technology to students. ED 560 Modern Teacher weaves together the latest trends in the field of teaching with the impact technology is having on the field. All students prepare and present screencasts, voicethreads, and a variety of different classroom-ready applications. In addition to coursework, all candidates complete a full-year teaching residency during which they are specifically evaluated on their effective use of technology as a teaching and learning tool.

Teaching for All Learners

As is the case with technology, the integration of strategies to effectively meet the needs of students with disabilities and students with limited English proficiency cuts across all of the Master of Arts in Teaching curriculum. Topics related to student support are the specific focus of ED 550 Effective Teaching for All Learners. This course includes detailed instruction related to teaching strategies, education law, and current research. In addition to the formal coursework, candidates write daily lesson plans throughout their full-year residency. The required lesson plan format asks candidates to apply their learned teaching strategies to meet the needs of all students. Candidates' mentors and university supervisors read and provide feedback on all lesson plans.
