Advanced Graduate Inquiry Seminar

This course is designed for the Lynch School Fifth Year Program students who have successfully completed a licensure program at Boston College. It is designed to build on teacher candidates' experiences with inquiry as stance and expand their skills in conducting classroom-based research that leads to pupil achievement and teaching for social justice in their new license area. The hybrid course is online with one class meeting. A case-study approach is used to help teacher candidates mediate the relationships of theory and practice, pose questions for inquiry, learn through reflection and discussion, learn from experiences with students and colleagues, construct critical perspectives about teaching, learning, and schooling, and to improve teaching and learning. The second part of this sequence is EDUC7432 which is taken in conjunction with full-time student teaching (EDUC7420).
