EDUA 576 - Psychology and Methods for Middle Level Education

3 Credit Hours
Candidates will examine the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and moral characteristics of middle-level students, to develop an informed, research-based philosophy and practice of teaching that capitalizes on major concepts, principles, theories, and research underlying the foundations of developmentally responsive middle level programs and schools. Participants review the philosophical and psychological frameworks of middle level education and engage in a collegial team process to design interdisciplinary curricular maps, content lessons, and advisory lessons with level-appropriate strategies and materials that meet the diverse and developmental learning needs of middle level students. To inform their curricular plans and practice participants investigate common problematic issues that challenge adolescents and propose patterns of adult response that are well-founded in research and theory.
