Students in this course will engage with the scholarship of teaching and learning in postsecondary education. Students will explore the ends or purposes of teaching in postsecondary education; the methods and modes of course design, delivery, and evaluation adopted to achieve those ends; and the theories of teaching and learning that inform and differentiate pedagogical decision-making across vocational, professional and disciplinary forms of knowledge. Students will draw upon critically informed perspectives to prepare a teaching philosophy statement, teach mini-lessons, propose appropriate assessments of student learning, and to practice skills in evaluating curricula, lesson plans and teaching.
