Prerequisite: Admission to the Ed.S. or Ed.D. program.
The formation of a classroom community is crucial to the success of any elementary teacher and involves deliberate fostering of trust, care, and growth. The classroom community does not end within the school walls, however, but also extends to the families and the outside community where their students are found. This course focuses on capitalizing on the funds of knowledge their students and families bring, as well as the impact of classroom environment considerations to develop stronger classroom communities to maximize student learning.
