ED 6660 - Teaching Middle and Secondary School Business Education


(ED 4660)
(3)

Students explore and analyze a variety of approaches to the teaching of business education courses at the middle and high school level. A major focus is upon the development of curriculum, teaching materials, and learning activities appropriate to the business education curriculum. The integration of business education into the total school curriculum is also emphasized and experience is provided through on-campus demonstrations and visits to local school classrooms. Students develop an original plan of study for one of the business education areas during the course of the semester and they develop the ability to create and evaluate curriculum. This course will prepare the pre­service and in-service teachers about the challenges of today’s modern classroom; therefore, it will focus on how to best serve English language learners, underperforming students, and a diverse student body. Critical thinking and problem solving will be central to the training of the students. This course requires non-credit field experiences. The graduate-level course requires independent accelerated additional coursework appropriate for the graduate level.
