EDF-255 Credits:3 Introduction to Teaching This course is intended for students who wish to pursue a degree in education at a four-year college. The course introduces students to the profession of education and the roles of teachers. It provides an understanding of the context in which education is delivered in culturally pluralistic settings and an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in the interpersonal, observational and organizational skills that underlie teaching. Prerequisite(s): Complete EDF-253. Completion of or currently enrolled in EDF-254. ELCTEC – Electronics (Department 605) ELCTEC-105 Credits:3 Advanced Circuits (DC/AC 3) Advanced circuit analysis concepts and techniques that are used by electronic engineering technologists are emphasized in this course. Advanced AC complex number based circuit analysis techniques are applied to series-parallel circuits, superposition, complex power, nodal analysis, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, ideal operational ampli fi er circuits, circuits containing equivalent circuit models of sensors and actuators, frequency response analysis, and balanced three-phase circuits. Laboratory, simulation, and documentation experiences reinforce the lecture material. Prerequisite(s): Complete ELCTEC-111 or ELCTEC-116 and ELCTEC-120 or ELCTEC-118 and MATH-197 or MATH-230. Completion of or currently enrolled in ELCTEC-121. ELCTEC-106 Credits:3 Advanced Electronics (ECA) This course covers advanced topics associated with the analysis of electronic devices and circuits. Fundamental mathematical modeling and applications of solid-state devices and operational ampli fi ers include device characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJT), and metal oxide semiconductor fi elde ff ect transistors (MOSFET); analysis of diode circuits, linear power supplies, and transistor switching circuits; and an introduction to design in the context of single-stage MOSFET ampli fi ers and operational ampli fi ers in standard con fi gurations. Laboratory, simulation, and documentation experiences reinforce the lecture material. Prerequisite(s): Complete ELCTEC-105 or ELCTEC-112 and ELCTEC-121.

EDF-129

Credits:3

EDU: Techniques in Lang. Arts Students explore various genres of children’s and young adult literature. Students examine techniques used to support learners in reading and writing, and strategies for assessing learners in the process. Students examine techniques to support learners with reading and writing across the curriculum. EDF-118 Credits:3 EDU: Techniques in Math Students learn key terminology and research-based strategies to support learners in math domains: numbers, base ten operations, algebraic thinking, geometry, probability/statistics and measurement and data. Current practice including manipulatives, problem solving and assessment will be covered within the framework of state and national standards. EDF-119 Credits:3 EDU: Techniques in Soc Stu Students analyze current content in social studies education as recommended by the National Council for the Social Studies and Wisconsin DPI. Students design learning opportunities for the fi ve content areas of social studies: Geography, History, Behavioral Sciences (Culture and Society), Political Science (Civics and Government), and Economics,which incorporate the social studies inquiry practices and processes. Students receive training on the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of Wisconsin’s eleven federally recognized American Indian nations and tribal communities. EDF-120 Credits:3 Edu: Techniques in Science Students are introduced to the content and processes of teaching science. Students explore science processes, strategies, procedures, assessment options and factors a ff ecting science learning. Students study and practice strategies for assisting with group and individual activities in science. This course provides a solid foundation in the concepts and models of hands-on, student-centered science and its assessment as described in the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s Science Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. EDF-124 Credits:3 EDU: Supporting Stu w/ Disab Students identify research-based interventions for learners in categories de fi ned by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Students interpret Individualized Educational Programs and examine special education related services available for learners. Students collect data to document student behavior and academic performance and recommend program adaptations and accommodations for students with disabilities while applying the concepts of least restrictive environment and inclusion.

EDU: Practicum 1 Students apply the skills learned in previous program courses in a school setting while under the supervision of a Department of Public Instruction certi fi ed teacher. Students support learners while demonstrating professionalism. Students begin the re fl ective process. EDF-131 Credits:3 EDU: Practicum 2 Students apply the skills learned in previous program courses in a school setting while under the supervision of a Department of Public Instruction certi fi ed teacher. Students support learners and while demonstrating professionalism. Students apply job search skills. EDF – Education Foundation (Department 809) EDF-249 Credits:2 Orientation to Urban Teaching This course is designed for students who are interested in exploring a career in urban K-12 teaching. Students learn about themselves in relationship to the children they may teach. Students explore di ff erent licensure areas and the pathways toward becoming a teacher. Readings and topics are chosen in order to explore how race, class, and ethnicity a ff ect the dynamics of teaching learning relationships in schools. EDF-253 Credits:3 Issues in Urban Teaching This course is designed to expose you to issues in urban education. Some of you may have already spent considerable time in classrooms as teacher aides or paraprofessionals, or maybe even as teachers. The majority of us spent time in schools as students. Now we are preparing to enter the vital and rewarding fi eld of teaching. As we prepare for this role reversal, we must have a deeper understanding of schooling, particularly in urban settings, so that we can begin to tackle the challenges we will face both within and outside of the classroom. Throughout this course we will challenge one another to grow not only in our understanding of the issues that a ff ect urban education, but also insofar as our own personal philosophies of teaching are constantly evolving. Service-learning is a vehicle we will use to get hands-on experience tackling issues impacting urban education. Prerequisite(s): Complete EDF-249 or SOCSCI-249 with minimum grade of C. EDF-254 Credits:2 Field Experience in Urban K-12 Classrooms This is a fi eld experience I service learning course which provides students who are completing the Teacher Education Track to (1) deepen their understanding of how race, language, and socioeconomic status impact teaching and learning, (2) observe and participate in classroom management
