Overview of Technology Integration in Pedagogy Courses

Technology and Pedagogy Integration image concept

The Teaching and Learning Department has updated all its teacher preparation courses and program assessments to reflect the integration of the ISTE Standards for Educators. Alignments were accomplished in two ways: 1) in courses, and 2) in key assessments.


COURSES AND ALIGNMENTS

The following alignment matrix demonstrates alignment of ISTE standards to pedagogy courses in the educator programs. These do not include courses in the minor/specialization areas.

 

ISTE Standards EC-6 Program Secondary/All Level
3a EDCI 3331 EDUC 3301/EDUC 3302
3b EDCI 3331 EDUC 3301/EDUC 3302/EDUC 3304/READ 4305
3c EDUC 3301/READ 4305/EDUC 4611
3d EDUC 3301/READ 4305/EDUC 4611
4a
4b
4c EDCI 3331 EDUC 3301/EDUC 3302
4d EDCI 3331 EDUC 3301/EDUC 3302/EDUC 3304
5a
5b EDCI 3332/EDCI 3333/EDCI 3334 EDUC 3303/EDUC 4306
5c EDCI 3332/EDCI 3333/EDCI 3334 EDUC 3303/EDUC 4306
6a
6b EDCI 3335/EDCI 3336 EDUC 3303/EDUC 4306
6c EDCI 3335/EDCI 3336 EDUC 4306

*Please note that Standards 1 and 2, Learner and Leader, are expected to be modeled throughout the program, with students gradually becoming learners and leaders by the time they enter their fourth semester, or clinical teaching.

Although not all specific indicators are explicitly aligned to courses, all standards 3-7 are aligned in one form or another in the courses.

KEY ASSESSMENTS

The following key assessments have also been designed to have technology integration. They are currently being piloted with the newly aligned coursework.

Diversity Case Study:
  • EC6: EDCI 3331
  • Secondary/All Level: EDUC 3304
  • UTEACH: UTCH 3302
Mini-Lesson:
  • EC6: EDCI 3332
  • Secondary/All Level: EDUC 3304
  • UTEACH: UTCH 3302
Data Literacy and Reflection:
  • EC6: EDCI 3336
  • Secondary/All Level: EDUC 3303
  • UTEACH: UTCH 3303

DIVERSITY CASE STUDY

The purpose of the diversity case study is to assess the teacher’s ability to identify and analyze relevant contextual factors that affect the learning-teaching process. There are five general indicators for which you will gather information from your field placement school. These include the following:

  1. Community, school, and classroom factors
  2. Characteristics of students
  3. Students’ varied approaches to learning
  4. Students’ skills and prior knowledge
  5. Implications for instructional planning and assessment

MINI UNIT

The purpose of this mini unit is to assess a teacher’s ability to plan instructional units. You will complete the mini unit in a detailed, written plan in three parts: 1) learning goals, 2) assessment plan, and 3) design for instruction. All three parts are pieces of the same mini unit.


DATA LITERACY AND REFLECTION

The purpose of this data literacy and reflection benchmark is to assess a teacher’s ability to analyze assessment data and reflect on instruction. You will complete the data literacy and reflection benchmark in three parts: 1) instructional decision-making, 2) analysis of student learning, and 3) reflection and self-evaluation. All three parts are pieces of the same data literacy and reflection benchmark.
