EDUC 311 - Teaching and Learning, Part I

Challenges the theory that there is one best way of understanding that students must learn according to that one way, and that their capacity to learn ought to be judged accordingly. Explores many adequate pathways for developing knowledge and emphasizes that teachers who acknowledge and support different pathways help make learning more accessible for students. This premise and its implications for teaching, curriculum, assessment, the formation of learning communities for diverse groups of students, and the role of the teacher in enabling students to actively construct knowledge are explored.
