Children with Special Needs:
Focus on Childhood
Competency Area: Educational & Social Policy
Required of and priority to Integrated Learning, Science Education & Waldorf teacher certification students.

This course will examine the perceptions and attitudes of the individual, family, teacher and community toward children with special needs and provide a mechanism by which the evolving teacher can better meet the human needs of the child who is labeled exceptional. We will discuss laws and public policy as they are filtered through community, educational and family systems. The inclusionary classroom will provide the foundation for examination of the ways in which specific curricular and other adaptations can enhance the lives and the learning of children with disabilities.

Critical Skills Institute - Level 1
Competency Area: Theoretical & Philosophical Foundations of Education
(Critical Skills designated course)

Critical Skills Institutes are truly “an experience.” In our Level 1 Institutes, educators are immersed in a Critical Skills Classroom. Participants explore problem-based, experiential, collaborative, and standards-driven learning. They examine how these components can be successfully utilized to target Critical Skills development within curriculum frameworks focusing on the role of the teacher in the areas of designing curriculum, guiding students, and assessing performance. They develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to build and maintain a dynamic and responsive classroom community.

Curriculum Theory and Application
Competency Area: Curriculum & Instruction
Required of and restricted to continuing Experienced Educator students.

This course will include an overview of classroom curriculum theory and practice. Given all we know about the world inside and outside the school, we will, both individually and as a group: 1) articulate what is quality curriculum, 2) determine how to design quality curriculum to achieve desired learning results, and 3) produce exemplars of curricula that make these ideas concrete and practical. During class sessions we will engage in large group discussion, small group work, individual reflection, and curriculum project design.

Digital Imaging for the Classroom
Competency Area: Curriculum & Instruction

How can you put your digital camera to its best use in the classroom? What can you do to go beyond point, click, and print? Digital technology offers new and wonderful opportunities for creativity, expressions of learning, self-evaluation, reflection, and documentation of classroom work, but for most of us just taking a picture can be a challenge. In this hands-on, introductory course we will learn to use digital cameras, digital video cameras, scanners, and image editing software to explore the fundamentals of digital imaging and digital image manipulation. The emphasis of this class will be both learning about digital equipment and integrating digital media into the curriculum in ways that merge the creative and technical processes. Digital formats for the final project may include digital scrapbooks or journals, students’ websites, electronic portfolios, student autobiographies, and printed collages. Basic computer knowledge is a prerequisite, but no prior experience with digital technology is necessary. Students are encouraged to bring their own laptops and cameras to class if they own them.

Ecology of Imagination in Childhood
Competency Area: Curriculum & Instruction
Required of and priority to Education - Science & Environmental Education students.

This course investigates the developmental basis of environmental education and social studies by examining recurrent themes from children’s play around the world. Making forts, hunting and gathering, constructing small worlds, going on adventures, and fantasy play are children’s instinctive ways of being in the natural world and these activities can be used as the basis for curriculum. Using some of these techniques as planning tools, we will explore curriculum activities that start in Keene neighborhoods and spread out into the surrounding hills and streams.

Recrafting Curriculum Using Problem-Based Learning
Competency Area: Curriculum & Instruction

The fundamental premise that underlies this course is that if we aspire for students to become confident and effective thinkers and problem solvers, we need to present curriculum in ways that specifically target and develop these skills. This course will introduce the design and use of three distinct models of problem-based challenges - academic challenges, challenge scenarios, and real-life problems - strategies by which a variety of problems are solved by students working as individuals or groups within the classroom. Ways in which these challenges can be used to simultaneously target school/district goals and state-mandated curriculum frameworks will also be examined.

This course will cover the foundational scientific principles that govern all sustainable systems. It will focus on three scientific laws: the law of limits to growth, the second law of thermodynamics which exposes the dangers of increased energy consumption, and the law of self-organization which results in complex, integrated, highly efficient, stable systems. These laws will be examined at various spatial and temporal scales in biological and ecological systems to show how they function in the world around us. We will then apply them to the examination of human systems - organizational, social, economic, and political as well as intentionally designed systems. Students will learn how to evaluate, from a foundational perspective, why practices or policies will either support or thwart sustainability in any system.

Changed 04/16/07 to: Restrictions: Required of and Priority to Educating for Sustainability 2007 Cluster students.

Learning theory has long ignored the role of the natural world in the maturation and cognitive development of the child. Too frequently, schools isolate students from the natural world and from community engagement. Conversely, what would education look like if we respected the biophilic tendency for children to bond with the natural world? In this course we’ll explore parenting and teaching approaches that organically build on natural developmental processes. Some classes will involve field trips to community swimming sites to observe children in nature. These field trips will inspire our curriculum development projects as well. We may also engage with a real world curriculum design problem developing scripts for a children’s media program on sustainability. The big picture goal of the course is to understand children’s development and learning as the basis for healthy approaches to educating for sustainability.

This course is an introduction to Educating for Sustainability, providing an overview of the philosophical, historical, and theoretical underpinnings of EFS. We will study the evolution of EFS during the past quarter century as we clarify for ourselves the meaning of the terms “sustainability” and “educating for sustainability.” Beginning with a review of the historical initiatives and events that gave rise to EFS, we will explore the conceptual components of this field, while simultaneously considering our personal perspectives on them. Then we will turn our attention to the strategies and guidelines applied in the practice of EFS, gaining global perspective by researching implementation of EFS in a variety of contexts. Students can expect course work to include: reading, discussion, individual and group projects, reflective and expository writing, and oral presentations. For the final project in the course, each student will present an overview and critique of an institution or curriculum as seen through an EFS lens.

This course will focus on both traditional sources of data and the development of alternative indicators of school and student success. Candidates will also learn how to design and conduct action research in their schools with the understanding that this is one of the core skills that leaders need in order to correctly identify and address the on-going development needs of students, teachers, and the school community.
