    Description
    This course introduces students to the concepts and issues related to teaching diverse learners in today's contemporary schools, pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. Topics include teaching as a profession and career, historical and philosophical foundations of the United States' education system, contemporary educational issues, California's content standards and frameworks, and teacher performance standards. In addition to lecture, this course requires structured fieldwork in public school elementary classrooms that represent California's diverse student population, and includes cooperation with at least one carefully selected and campus-approved certificated classroom teacher.
