It is preferred that the successful applicant will have completed a graduate course in classroom assessment (e.g., EPSE 581) before teaching this course, but it is not required.

SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

Instructors for these sections will be teaching the full content of the course in their seminar sections and thus instructors applying for these sections much have reached candidacy in their doctoral program before the start of this course. The course runs as a community of practice and thus instructors, along with the course coordinator, will contribute to the content and organization of the course. There will be a common syllabus for all sections and instructors. It is expected that all instructors will attend a number of planning sessions that will take place in fall term. Those who have experience teaching EPSE 310B will be given preference for hiring in EPSE 310A.
