The Philosophy of Education essay will be dropped on letter grade for each calendar day it is late. Tests must be taken on the assigned date unless prior arrangements have been made with me. If you do not come to class on the scheduled day of an exam, the make up exam is automatically dropped 50%. Please make sure you have a #2 pencil and a 100 question scantron sheet on the day of an exam. GENERAL INFORMATION: • If you are having difficulty in class, please make arrangements to meet with me. My office is open to you if you are struggling with an assignment or course content. • We at Kutztown University wish to make accommodations for persons with disabilities. Please make your needs known by contacting the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities. Sufficient notice is needed in order to make accommodations possible. The University desires to comply with the ADA of 1990. • KU has a tutoring center on the first floor of Beekey Building that will assist you if you have difficulty with course material. Also, there is a student mentoring program – we can all use a little help now and then so please take advantage of this. Furthermore, there is a writing lab in Old Main. • One of the goals of this class is to get you to think about education and the type of teacher you want to become. Much of this class will be based on modeling techniques that you can possibly use when you have your own classroom. I cannot emphasize how important it is for you to participate in class discussions and activities. • Visit http://wps.ablongman.com/ab_johnson_introfound_15 for extra text material and on-line tests COURSE OUTLINE: Teachers and Schools: Chapter 1: Teaching in a Changing World • Education in the News “Heroes Every One” • Reflect on Diversity “Student Bullying” Chapter 9: Organizing and Paying for Education You are required to read the Reflection on Diversity and Education in the News and complete questions for assigned chapters and fully answer each question in paragraph form. * Quiz #1: Chapter 1 & Chapter 9 * Chapter 1: Education in the News & Reflect on Diversity History of Public Education: Chapter 2: The Early History of Education in a Changing World • Education in the News “Teaching Patriotism – With Conviction ” • Reflect on Diversity “Religious Beliefs in the Classroom”
