Candidates will study middle and high school curriculum as defined by national and state standards, learning ways to translate that appropriately for diverse urban classrooms. They will learn research-based best practices for instruction in urban middle and high schools, including the incorporation of instructional technologies. They will explore subject-specific and interdisciplinary approaches to instruction, as well as reading and writing in the content areas. In their planning, candidates will incorporate their understanding of adolescent development and urban diversity and plan for inclusion of students with special needs and English Language Learners.
