EDMC 538 - The Professional Teacher(3 credits)
Prerequisite: EDMC 530 and EDMC 531 and EDMC 532 and EDMC 533; and a minimum of three content courses. It is preferred that the student will have passed all of their content courses.
This course is designed to be the capstone course taken at the end of the student’s program, delivered 100% online. It requires the students to address the changing context of teaching in view of the Bridgewater State University Conceptual Framework, and the national standards for professional teachers. Students will create or upgrade their professional eportfolio. They will produce their capstone project for the degree, and present it in an online format. The individual student’s capstone project will address an area of their professional development focused either in their education practice or in their content discipline. As a consequence of working collaboratively with all other members of the course, each student will analyze the impact of educational reform efforts aimed at improving the teaching, learning and professional development of teachers in the educational environment. A rigorous online discussion forum will require reflective practice and written communication as key components of the course. Final project and eportfolio will be submitted to Taskstream for final evaluation for the degree.
