ED 308 - Methods—Secondary Mathematics

3 Credit(s)

This course is designed to prepare prospective secondary teachers for the instructional and administrative duties and responsibilities associated with the methods of teaching mathematics. The four major components of the course include curriculum development and planning; classroom management and discipline; appropriate instructional practices and procedures relative to this area of certification; and familiarity with instructional media and materials. The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, a publication of NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics), provides a central focus for this course. As part of this course, students participate in field experiences outside of regularly scheduled class times, which enable them to relate the course content to teaching. All students must have required clearances before the semester begins. Please contact the Office of Field Experience and Certification for more information.
