  • What is the rationale for adding this course?*
    This course will be part of a Provost approved collaborative initiative between the Graduate School and the College of Education entitled The NBCT Certificate Credit Conversion. EDUC 7001 is a course that represents NBPTS Component 2 (Differentiation of Instruction). Individuals who enroll in this course may/may not enroll in a College of Education graduate program at UWG. However, all students will receive three graduate credits for this course. Background: The National Board Certification for Teachers (NBCT) offered by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is a highly regarded certification available for kindergarten-twelfth-grade educators. To become certified, educators must undergo a rigorous evaluation process based on four components: Content Knowledge, Differentiation of Instruction, Teaching Practice and Learning Environment, and Effective and Reflective Practitioners. This is a competency-based credit graduate course for NBCT Certified Teachers. All work required for this course has been previously completed by the student. For information on competency-based credit, please review this link: https://www.affordablecollegesonline.org/college-resource-center/competency-based-online-degree-programs/#:~:text=Competency%2Dbased%20programs%20work%20by,the%20typical%20credit%2Dhour%20unit.
  • Student Learning Outcomes*

Design varied, rich, and appropriate assignments and instructional resources. Analyze student work in ways that recognize students progress and offer means for students to build on their accomplishments. Demonstrate effective communication with students that directs their attention to the salient features of their work and encourages them to reflect upon how their work can be improved. Demonstrate reflective practices that insightfully improve effectiveness in meeting the challenges of teaching.
