Work from future teachers and current University of Toledo students in the Licensure Alternative Master\u2019s Program will be on display Friday, March 22, from 2 to 4 p.m. outside the Carver Center, located in Gillham Hall Room 3000.<\/p>\n
The 26 students in the accelerated program that starts in August and runs through June will show off their posters to officers from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, faculty in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, College of Engineering, and College of Languages, Literature and Social Sciences, and faculty and students of the Judith Herb College of Education.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event is the third in a series of special conversations that help our students understand how to teach the important ideas in their content,\u201d said Dr. Jenny Denyer, UT associate professor of teacher education and literacy. \u201cStudents are prepared to discuss their posters with anyone interested.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program is designed to allow those with a bachelor\u2019s degree to get teaching licenses and master\u2019s degrees in less than one year if they choose so after graduation. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe assume students come to us knowing content,\u201d Denyer said. \u201cOur program shows them how to teach that content.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each student poster addresses:<\/p>\n
\u2022 What does it mean for students to do inquiry in your content area?<\/p>\n
\u2022 What types of questions can or should be asked in language arts, mathematics, social studies or science classrooms?<\/p>\n
\u2022 What types of investigations can or should students engage in language arts, mathematics, social studies or science classrooms?<\/p>\n
\u2022 What examples from your classroom illustrate students engaged in inquiry in language arts, mathematics, social studies or science?<\/p>\n
Denyer and Dr. Rebecca Schneider, professor of teacher education and science education, co-direct the program that they have designed to integrate University course work with intern work in local middle and secondary classrooms.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile it is very intense, our students are finding jobs once they graduate,\u201d Denyer said. \u201cWe are very proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
