Students will design creative lessons in various passion areas by aligning with their elements and finding the courage to teach and reflect through self-awareness and assessment. In addition, students will conduct research/literature reviews on their scholarship interests to prepare for their future senior capstone project. This course is a prerequisite to ED 409A and ED 409B Capstone courses. Prerequisite(s): Junior standing or above.
