Web Exploration

You have a choice in the grade you will receive. As outlined in the syllabus, there are three grades possible for completion of the material. The grade of B is given if all assignments are completed satisfactorily.

To receive an A , you will want to find a way to extend your learning . Once you have decided on a project that is appealing to you, send a brief summary of the activity. Upon completion of the "A" project, please send documentation of the project to the professor and request a final grade. Plan to do one "A" project per course, regardless of the number of credit hours.

Extending Learning : In education, we strive for the ideal of a life long learner. At the same time, it is easy to comply with the minimum requirements of a course, and lose sight of ownership of learning. To facilitate student ownership of courses, an ancillary or capstone experience is left to you. I have provided some examples of things I would find interesting. These may serve to define your project, or may suggest something that caught your interest and you wish to pursue further.

a) Read a book by one of the proponents of educational philosophy, i.e. William James, John Dewey, Martin Buber, Abraham Maslow.

b) Read a journal article by a more recent educational philosopher, i.e. Theodore Sizer, Paulo Freire, Alfie Kohn, Maxine Greene.

c) Build a model philosophy that is consistent with a school of thought, including the plant, the teaching role, what kind of school board, funding sources, discipline techniques, student roles, types of assessment and evaluation of teacher, school success.

d) Start a personal journal on practices at school and review periodically to determine if your personal philosophy and actions are synchronous.

Final: At the completion of the course, please submit one of the three options for a final.
