EDU 923 - Values Education: Critical Thinking

Credits: 3
This course engages pupils to value principles that build healthy learning relationships between teacher and pupil and among pupils. A Check for Understanding Exercise (CFU) uses Bloom?s Taxonomy to engage pupil critical thinking skills about values, progressing from lower levels to higher ones in a sequential manner, thus functional literacy is exercised. Students, with instructor guidance, will develop their own lesson plans based upon given values, principles, and the CFU. National standards of the National Board of Certified Teachers, Common Core State Standards, the Character Education Partnership, and local State standards are applied.
