EPSE 310B: Assessment and Learning in the Classroom

Qualifications:

Preference is given to Doctoral students who have a strong understanding of classroom assessment and learning principles; however, highly qualified students in the Master’s program are also welcome to apply. It is preferred that the applicant have completed a graduate course in classroom assessment (e.g., EPSE 581) before teaching this course, but it is not required. Completion of EPSE 606, College and University Teaching, is considered a strong asset.   Experience teaching in K-12 schools in British Columbia is preferred, but not required.  Successful applicants must also have the approval of their research supervisor (based on making satisfactory progress in the program).

Specific Course Information and Requirements:

EPSE 310B is for Secondary Teacher Candidates and takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays in-person and Fridays online, from early January to mid-February.  Due to the condensed timeline of the course, this is a significant time commitment. These sections are taught in a lecture/seminar format.  All TAs for these sections must attend all the lectures and be responsible for running activities in smaller groups in the seminar sections.  The course operates as a community of practice, and thus TAs, along with the course coordinator, contribute to the content and organization of the course through a common syllabus.  TAs are responsible for making themselves familiar with the intent and content of the course, but will be highly supported in their planning and grading during this term.  It is expected that all TAs will attend a number of planning sessions that will take place in the fall term. All graduate students in masters or doctoral programs meeting the general qualifications are welcome to apply for these sections.
