SUMMARY OF POSITION

The Department of Education at UCLA seeks applications for part-time lecturer(s) to teach within the TEP graduate program.

Students will examine research-based strategies to enable them to collaborate with the families of students with disabilities and any associated stakeholders (i.e., outside agencies/service providers). Credential candidates will be exposed to and guided in using data collection tools to develop IEP goals and how and when to employ certain instructional strategies and assessments.

* EDU 320B, Secondary Science and Literacy Methods: ED320B is a course designed to prepare prospective teachers to gain pedagogical skills for Science in a single-subject assignment in urban schools. ED320B seeks to prepare pre-service teachers to 1) demonstrate knowledge of and ability to teach science content aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and applicable Common Core State Standards and English language development standards, 2) teach English language and develop literacy in science, 3) teach inquiry-based critically relevant lessons that involve data collection and analysis, and lastly, 4) teach social norms and routines to create and maintain classroom ecology that support inclusive, productive, safe, and critical learning environment.

EDU 318A focuses on K-6 Science instruction. Goals for the class, including: 1)Develop detailed knowledge about the development of children's scientific thinking, 2) Develop a repertoire of pedagogical moves and tools that support the development of scientific understanding, and 3) Develop notions of equity and access inside and outside of the science classroom.

* EDU 427D, Individualized Education - Assessments Individualized Education: Assessments explores the implementation and further development of assessment tools, data collection tools, and instructional strategies to use data to make informed instructional decisions via classroom instruction and/or in an Individualized Education Plan while keeping the student's well-being at the forefront of all decision-making processes.

This information will serve as data for progress monitoring with both IEP goals and to support teacher instruction.
