Annotated Transcript
Here you will find a listing of the courses I took while completing my master's of education in the Michigan State University MAED program.
Transfer Credits: Fall 2008 and Spring 2009
TE 802 Reflection and Inquiry in Teaching Practice I TE 803 Professional Roles and Teaching Practice II TE 804 Reflection and Inquiry in Teaching Practice II These three courses were taken during my fifth year internship after completing my undergraduate work at Michigan State University. This unique program allows teacher interns to earn graduate credit while fulfilling their student teaching requirements. During these courses I learned about different teaching methodologies, planned units in all subject areas, worked with peer groups, reflected on my current teaching experiences, and prepared for my first teaching job as well as interviews in the professional education world. |
ED 800 Concepts in Educational Inquiry
Summer 2012- Steven Weiland This is the first course required in the MAED program at MSU. In this course, students learn about educational inquiry through a self directed learning experience. It touches on the purpose of education as well as it's roles throughout history. This introductory course provides the foundation for the program and allows for students to begin to develop their own beliefs of education and it's relation to the inquiry process. |
TE 846 Accommodating Differences in Literacy Learners
Summer 2012- Erin Jurand This course focused on how to teach literacy to a wide variety of learners. The main focus of this course was on developing strategies to teach those who struggle in reading and writing. These included students with special needs, English Language Learners, and also those who lack motivation or have little/no support at home. Our main project in this course was a case study of a struggling reader. This study allowed students to put to practice what we were studying as well as evaluate assessment tools for their effectiveness. The Prezi (to the left) was an introduction project I created for this class and outlines what I had hoped to learn from this course. |

CEP 883 Psychology of Classroom Discipline
Summer 2012- Dr. Evelyn Oka This course is exactly what the description sounds like. We studied several key concepts in classroom management and student behavior. This course was designed to help students develop their own beliefs about classroom management based on best practices. |
TE 842 Elementary Reading Assessment and Instruction
Fall 2012- Laural Disney This course also focused on literacy. As the title suggests, the central areas of instruction included reading assessment as well as instruction based on best practices. In this course, students spent time learning about the components to a balanced literacy program and developed projects and artifacts to demonstrate our understanding of these components. You can view my Prezi about vocabulary instruction on the literacy showcase page. |
TE 849 Methods and Materials for Teaching Children's and Adolescent Literature
Spring 2013- Laura Apol This course required students to look deeply at different genres of literature and how it can be used in the classroom setting. Through the use of online discussions as well as papers and projects, students were able to think about who we are as readers as well as how we interact, discuss, and question the different texts we read. A large portion of the class was spent reading and discussing how multicultural literature is represented in society as well as in classrooms. |
TE 831 Teaching School Subject Matter with Technology
Summer 2013- Jeff Bale In this course, students investigate different tools to use while teaching. We begin the course by learning about the different aspects of TPACK while critically analyzing the use of different types of technologies that can be used to teach our content area standards. By clicking on the video to the right, you will see a vodcast I created for this class to teach my 4th graders about interpreting remainders in division story problems. |

ED 870 Capstone Seminar
Summer 2013- Dr. Matthew Koehler This course is the final requirement for all MAED students. In this class, students get the opportunity to synthesize all of the work they have done during their master's program and reflect on their learning. The online portfolio is the end result of this course. |
