Course Prefix&Number	Descriptive Title	Credits/Hours
ED 623	Curriculum, Assessment, and Management II	3 -

Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) Curr Assess Mgt II

Catalog Description: This course will help students to develop assessment, instructional, and management strategies in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of instruction in various classroom settings using the framework of teacher work sampling. The basics of lesson planning, instructional methods, assessment planning, differentiation, and classroom management will be covered.

Course Goal and Objectives: ¿ Candidates will demonstrate comprehensive understanding of the alignment instructional goals with curricular decisions and assessment methods, in the context of Oregon¿s standards-based schools, utilizing a variety of developmentally- and content-appropriate methods and assessment strategies, with the aim of promoting student achievement and engaging students in learning while adhering to Oregon Core Standards ¿ Candidates will incorporate learning theory and educational philosophy into the creation of curricula and assessments, utilizing multiple instructional models and a variety of classroom strategies, including proficiency-based instruction, given particular student outcomes and content and the requirements of the Oregon Diploma ¿ Candidates will articulate and implement a comprehensive model for the effective management of classroom routines and student behavior that maximizes opportunities for student learning. ¿ Students will demonstrate emerging proficiency in connecting teaching and learning by preparation of the first full work sample. ¿ Candidates will refine and implement the skills underlying teacher work sample methodology including contextual analysis, selection of content, selection of pedagogical strategies, formative and summative ¿ assessment, data analysis, reflective analysis, and alignment across each. ¿ Candidates will observe and analyze field assignment features through the lenses of curriculum, assessment, and management, and will develop and implement policies, methods, and procedures appropriate to their field assignment

Justification for adding the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course is the second in a two-part Curriculum, Assessment, and Management series that will be a part of the Teacher Education Division¿s revised MAT program. The use of this two-part series for Curriculum, Assessment, and Management replaces the system in the current MAT program, which devotes separate courses to Curriculum, Assessment, and Management. The shift to two combined courses, when combined with the movement of some course content to other new MAT courses (Content Pedagogy I and II; Professional Seminar I, II, III, and IV), allows us to address issues raised in regards to the current program. Exit surveys of students, along with faculty feedback and discussion, have long indicated a need for greater alignment and coordination of curriculum, assessment, and management content, since these three separate topics operated interdependently in classroom settings. The combination of these three content areas into two courses allows this coordination and alignment to take place. This change also allows movement of some of the generalized content of these courses into into courses more directly focused on students¿ experience and content areas, i.e. the new Professional Seminar and Content Pedagogy courses. Finally, this change frees up credits for other priorities, such as new courses, and for program credit reduction, this last a priority in order to increase our program¿s competitiveness among similar programs in Oregon.

Faculty and facilities needed: current MAT program faculty and existing MAT program facilities

Brief Course outline: This course is a continuing general introduction to the work of teaching, focusing on more advanced and varied understandings of curriculum, assessment, and management in classroom teaching. These three topics are deeply intertwined in teaching practice, and they will be taught in a complimentary fashion, with lessons in each contributing to, and reinforcing, lessons on the others. The curriculum component focuses on the planning, design, and delivery of courses, with a particular emphasis, in this second course, on variety of instructional methods, developmental and content appropriateness of methods, and student engagement in instructional activity. The assessment component of this course continues to develop students¿ skills in the development, administration, and interpretation of assessments, with a similar increased emphasis on variety, appropriateness, and engagement, combined with additional work on analysis of results for particular students. The management portion of this course will help the students to put together a model of classroom management that is consistent with their developing style of teaching, one which they can carry into their first year of full-time teaching. Coursework will include readings in the fields of curriculum, instruction, and management, analysis of hypothetical and field-based classroom settings from a variety of perspectives, and development of advanced curriculum, assessment, and management plans, all accompanied by applied fieldworks assignments and completion of a full version of the WOU Teacher Work Sample, a primary instructional, assessment, and licensure tool in the Division of Teacher Education. This second course in the two part series will focus on advanced approaches to curriculum, assessment, and management, with the aim of the development of skills and understandings in each of these areas that will enhance students¿ field placements and enable them to be effective teachers when they take over their own classrooms.
