Winter 2025 - This is a great way to gain experience in the classroom. While I was interested in the course material and Dr. Kreide is really enthusiastic, the lectures felt almost completely disconnected from the assignments we were to complete. Dr. Kreide LOVES hiding links to readings and assignments in her slides, so theyre easy to miss. I would have had such a better time if the Canvas "Assignments" feature was used, or if she even reminded us verbally about assignments in class! I missed the final project document because it was never brought up in class. I would have loved a timeline given to me at the beginning of the quarter of all of the things I was expected to complete outside of class, because I was often confused/blindsided. Otherwise, I do recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining experience teaching in a classroom setting. You volunteer in groups of 1-4 (depending on your availability) at a local elementary school 3 hrs/ week and have to deliver your own lesson around midterms. There is a final presentation about your experience.
