Qualifications:
SSTE 380-01 - Methods for Liberation (Core Course)

February 8, 2022 - May 17, 2022, Tuesday, 4:30pm - 6:30pm

In this class, we will engage in critical self-reflection to discover who we are as engaged educators. We will build educational partnerships with one another and mentor teachers as we form critical inquiry groups to interrogate and augment our teaching practices and the beliefs that inform them. We will learn how to communicate nonviolently and how to build restorative and deeply connected learning communities. We will build project based learning units that are developmentally, linguistically, and culturally appropriate; that are aligned with California state subject matter standards and real life applications; that provide students “choice and voice”; that include assessments for, assessments of, and assessments as learning; that integrate the arts and technology; and that allow for 360 degree reflection and evaluation. Finally, we will begin the work of learning to be teacher leaders, invested in our continual personal and professional growth and community partnership.

Candidates in the Single Subject Credential Program are placed at one secondary school site for a full year, gradually taking on lead teacher responsibilities. In this way, they are able to more fully see how a classroom culture and school community develops over time; they can also be more active parts of that school community.
