Prerequisite: EDS 3110, EDS 3120

This course is a companion course to and must be taken concurrently with HPS 3510. The course teaches students how to convert content, theory and conceptual aspects of academic and professional teacher education into standards-based instruction through assignments, assessments, management plans, and teacher work samples. Students plan and micro-teach lessons integrating Colorado Model Content Standards and collaborate to develop interdisciplinary lessons that link physical education to reading and mathematics. Students design a variety of models of instruction and approaches to classroom management to support learner’s growth toward Performance Based Standards for Colorado Teachers.
