EDUC 772 - Assessment and Evaluation [3]
This course is designed to help middle school teachers acquire deeper understandings of evaluation and assessment. Students will come to realize that effective educational programs are linked to dynamic assessment schemes that help individual students grow and succeed. The primary goal of the course is to help teachers realize that improving assessment in the classroom leads to higher quality student work on all levels and that making these improvements is not a merely a matter of introducing new procedures, frameworks, techniques, rubrics or guidelines. Expanding ideas on assessment is intricately rooted in how a teacher sees one’s self and is seen by the students. A teacher, along with the students, becomes not only a judge of quality, but also a designer of the plans necessary to meet the standards. For achievement to be raised, teachers must help the students learn how to make better judgments about the quality of their own work. The course is focused on helping teachers develop models for assessment that align with the needs of their students, as well as local, state and national standards. The course is taught using a variety of active learning approaches, including inquiries, discussions, debates, collaborative review of student work, descriptive studies, action research projects and clinical trials.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Consent of department.

Extensive use of case studies, classroom observations, clinical supervision and lesson study provides the experienced teacher with tools to work with other teachers while supporting their own growth as a resource and leader in their school. Concepts, methods and practices used by effective teacher-leaders in collaborative leadership and mentorship activities to solve problems at the classroom, school, school system and community levels will be examined in the course.

In addition, students will observe how the knowledge and skills developed in the M.A. program in ESOL/Bilingual Education can inform and facilitate teacher decision-making and practice and be able to take a closer look at themselves as future ESOL teachers. Through a series of readings, structured observations, interviews and seminar discussion, students will have an opportunity to build on their current understanding of the teaching-learning process and the roles ESOL teachers play. They also will be able to integrate the knowledge obtained in other classes and contexts with the practical world of teaching.

EHS 639 - Catastrophe Preparation and Response [3]
Catastrophes are defined as a disaster of such magnitude and complexity that the resources of the entire nation are not sufficient to mount an effective response and recovery. As such the assumptions embedded in the plans for disaster response for a given jurisdiction or nation are rendered futile, necessitating a different approach to responding to the needs of the affected population in a scenario of long-term deprivation and inadequate resources. Recent examples of catastrophes are the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and, perhaps, the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake/tsunami/nuclear plant meltdown. This course addresses new ways of planning for events that require more resources than the nation can provide in a timely and effective manner. It requires rethinking the relationship between those affected by the event and the drive to minimize suffering and losses, and does so within a multidisciplinary examination of policies, legal structures, financial organization, social cohesion, public health means and methods, different collaboration/logistics modalities, and methods of effectively incorporating outside resources. It also proposes new emphases on local self-reliance
