CIC592 Seminar: Educational Inquiries

This course provides both an introductory and culminating integrating experience for candidates in the Curriculum and Instruction program. Candidates analyze the interrelatedness of relevant educational issues and engage the skills of reflective practice to examine their professional goals, understandings, development, and advocacy initiatives. Focus during the introductory experience is on understanding the dimensions and tools of viewing one's professional practice through cognitive, critical, narrative lenses. Focus during the culminating integrating experience is on completing a formal self-study that illustrates understanding of one's professional practice, applying the cognitive, critical, narrative lenses to exhibit competencies, growth and targets for continued development.
