ECE 540 - From Teacher to Thinker: Pedagogical Leadership

4 credits
Learners re-examine assumptions and habits in teaching and learning. We can no longer separate the mind from the heart and spirit in classroom and program practices. This course examines the pedagogical leader’s responsibility to help others embrace disequilibrium, discomfort and uncertainty while embracing inquiry, wonder, curiosity, and passion in their work with children and families. Learners examine and design learning as a co-created relationship between children and educators using investigation, questioning, and understanding, strengthening children’s thinking about their explorations. Prerequisite(s): Restricted to MSEd majors. Students from other programs may enroll with instructor approval.
Graded (A-F) only.
