Students translate theory and research into practice by designing instructional units that include a variety of teaching methodologies. Emphasis is on individualized instruction, developmentally appropriate learning objectives, and authentic assessments, as well as the use of cooperative learning, creativity, reflective processes, and integration of both media and technology. Students critique school textbooks, problem-solve obstacles to effective instruction, and learn how to address standards while delivering imaginative, relative learning. (Y-SS)
