ED100-51 INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATION

When I do not know myself, I cannot know who my students are. I will see them     through a glass darkly, in the shadows of my unexamined life—and when I cannot see them clearly, I cannot teach them well.  —Parker J. Palmer (1998)

The emphasis of ED100 is on the teacher as a self-reflective practitioner. The course presents an introduction to critical issues in education including the person as a teacher, criteria for effective teaching, and effective school settings. Class and individual field experiences in local schools are included. ED100 is a prerequisite for admission to teacher education.
