Foundations of Teaching and Learning (FTL) is the prerequisite for ITSP.
Course Format and Approach
The ITSP course is experientially based, with a focus on curriculum, course design, current research about learning and adult learning theory. A highly interactive seminar format in which we participate actively in class discussions, case studies and debate, augmented by lectures and resources is followed. Group work will be modeled on the principles of collaborative (cooperative) learning. A variety of teaching-learning methods will be used. Participants will have an opportunity to engage in reflective practice as we discuss teaching-learning experiences, as well as apply new learning directly to the college classrooms.
Classes will be held once a week for 12 weeks, with additional out-of-class readings and activities as needed.
