My opportunity stated is the UFV Teacher Education Program. With that in mind, listed below are a few of the relevant classes that I took during my undergrad to support myself during the program.
Educational Psychology
This course addresses two fundamental questions: How do we learn and how do we create the conditions for others to learn? Content includes evaluating established theories of learning and development and considering why certain theories of learning have been privileged in Western education. Topics include learning theory, maturation and development, social conditions for learning, and specific instructional strategies that enable learning. Designed for students interested in pursuing a BEd.
Curriculum and Assessment in Second Language Education
Students will design, align, and use curriculum, materials, assessments, and language standards to foster learning in second language education. Students develop expertise in the use of the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CBL) in curriculum and assessment.
Second Language Education Practicum
This practicum component of the TESL certificate enables students to apply their studies of theory and methodology of second language teaching and learning in an approved ESL instructional setting.
Stó:lõ History
Examines key themes in the history of the Stó:lõ peoples, from the pre-contact era to the present. Emphasis will be given to oral history as a way of accessing and documenting a community’s knowledge of its own past.
Traditional East Asian Civilizations
Examines the evolution of East Asian civilizations (with an emphasis on China and Japan) from ancient times to the early nineteenth century. The focus is on social structures, cultural traditions, economic systems, and political institutions in pre-modern China and Japan.
