EDMX 704Literacy Reflection3
Focuses on reflective literacy teaching: problematizing, processes of understanding students' thinking about reading and writing.
Provides students with the opportunity to review, renew, and expand their understanding of assessment and program evaluation procedures, as well as the role of accountability in educational settings.
Admission to the M.Ed. for experienced teachers program required. Addresses contexts of teaching, teaching in the world, and teaching students in schools. This course is designed for experienced educators to "reinvent teachers and teaching."
Enrollment in the M.Ed. for Experienced Teachers program required. Explores the meanings of research and the potential roles of teachers in conducting research. Teachers formulate possible individual or small group research projects that they can carry out during the year.
Teachers will plan and conduct advanced inquiry/research projects informed by their knowledge of teacher-research and their experience as teacher-researchers garnered through their successful completion of EDMX 708.
EDMX 710Teacher Leadership for a Democratic Society3
Focuses on the nature of change and teachers' roles as leaders within a changing environment. Several themes are addressed: shaping school cultures, schools as communities, schools as sites for reform, and politics and schools.
Enrollment in the M.Ed. for experienced teachers program required. Enhances teachers' understanding of how to differentiate instruction. Using a case-based approach, teachers examine the areas of human development, special education and inclusion, cultural diversity, linguistic diversity, cognitive styles, and multiple intelligences as frames through which to consider creative environments to promote students' classroom success.
EDMX 723Number Systems and Operations: K-5 Mathematical Tasks3
Course has major restrictions. Analysis and construction of effective mathematical tasks in teaching number systems and operations at the K-5 level; attention is also given to the expansion of content knowledge.
EDMX 724Data Analysis and Measurement: K-5 Classroom Interactions3
Course has major restrictions. Focuses on statistical literacy of elementary teachers and the teaching of data analysis and measurement to K-5 students; attention is also given to learning methods that facilitate appropriate classroom interactions.
EDMX 725Rational Numbers and Operations: K-5 Learning Trajectories3
Course has major restrictions. Focuses on rational number concepts through learning trajectories at the K-5 level. Attention also given to problem solving and content knowledge.

EDMX 728Topics in Mathematics Education: Geometry1-3
Provides students with a mathematical foundation and cognitive support for elementary and middle school geometry. Specific goals address structure of elementary and middle school geometry.
EDMX 730Geometry and Spatial Visualization: K-5 Assessment3
Course has major restrictions. Geometric concept development along with formative and summative assessment strategies of students' geometric thinking. Attention also is given to geometric content knowledge and diagnosis of student errors.
Focuses on the writing process and the theoretical foundations necessary to become practitioners who can develop and implement effective writing instruction using 21st-century skills.
This graduate-level course is an introductory immersion-style Spanish course for anyone involved in education. Learners will acquire novice-level proficiency in Spanish and an awareness of Hispanic culture.
EDMX 735Math and Content Area Methods: Special Education, General Curriculum3
Students will learn characteristics of students with mild to moderate learning disabilities in math, social studies, and science. They will also learn assessment techniques and instructional methods to address these specific characteristics.
Restricted to majors. Generating mathematical representations and making explicit connections between concepts. Pedagogy designed to equip elementary teachers to become mathematics teacher-leaders in school settings. Focuses on topics integrated within mathematical strands.
Builds on earlier coursework and will include teachers from each of the two concentrations in the M.Ed. for Experienced Teachers. It focuses on exploring what is meant by integrated curriculum and understanding the process of developmental research as it relates to the design and use of curricula.
Advanced course on emergent and early literacy, focusing on the research and theory in the development of reading and writing processes from birth through first grade, emphasizing the cognitive and socio-cultural perspectives.
Provides a linked perspective on international studies and multicultural education. Students explore issues relevant to these two topics as they relate to teaching and learning in social studies.
EDMX 764Families and Teams in Early Childhood Intervention: Interdisciplinary Perspectives3
