EDUC 7431 Graduate Inquiry Seminar: One

The course will coincide with the pre-practicum experience. It is designed to introduce teacher candidates to inquiry as stance and the skills necessary to conduct classroom-based research that leads to pupil achievement and teaching for social justice. The course is designed to help teacher candidates mediate the relationships of theory and practice, pose questions for inquiry, learn through reflection and discussion, learn from their students and colleagues, construct critical perspectives about teaching, learning, and schooling, and to improve teaching and learning. The second part of this sequence is 432 which is taken in conjunction with full-time student teaching (EDUC7420). Students who have successfully completed EDUC4231, Senior Inquiry, as part of their undergraduate teacher licensure program at LSEHD are recommended to take EDUC 7430 Advanced Graduate Inquiry Seminar
