DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

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. EDF-129 Credits: 3 EDU: Practicum 1 Students apply the skills learned in previous program courses in a school setting while under the supervision of a teacher certi fi edby the Department of Public Instruction. 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 teacher certi fi edby the Department of Public Instruction. Students support learners and while demonstrating professionalism. Students apply job search skills 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 different licensure areas and the pathways toward becoming a teacher. Readings and topics are chosen in order to explore how race, class, and ethnicity affect 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 affect 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 service learning course that 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 strategies, (3) become familiar with the organization, culture, and curriculum of schools and classrooms in the Milwaukee Public Schools system. Students complete 40+ hours of observation, which is accepted towards fi eldwork requirements at several Schools of Education. Prerequisite(s): Complete EDF-253 or SOCSCI-253. Also, a TB test and criminal background check are required for school placement. 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 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-100. ELCTEC-105 Credits: 3

EDF-112

Credits: 3

EDU: Equity In Education Students analyze personal culture, explore cultural constructs, evaluate cultural bias in educational materials and analyze strategies to support English learners. Students examine diversity in the classroom and develop techniques for supporting equity in the learning environment. In addition, students collaborate to identify service needs in the community and demonstrate professional collaboration skills through participating in a service learning project. EDF-114 Credits: 3 EDU: Techniques in Language Arts Students will be introduced to the science and art of teaching language arts. Evidence-based approaches and assessments will be examined and practiced. Students will create a literature fi le through the exploration of a variety of children’s/young adult literature. 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 Social Studies 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 that incorporate the social studies inquiry practices and processes. Students receive training on the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of Wisconsin’s 11 federally-recognized American Indian nations and tribal communities. Act 31 and the Holocaust and other genocides (Act 30) to meet Wisconsin teacher standards and teaching requirements. 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 affecting science learning. Students practice strategies for assisting with group and individual activities in science. This course provides a foundation in the concepts and models of hands on, student-centered science and its assessment as described in Wisconsin DPI science standards and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). EDF-124 Credits: 3 EDU: Supporting Students With Disabilities Students identify research-based interventions for learners in categories de fi ned by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
