All education courses taught by Spring Arbor faculty should
have a graphic of the Effective
Teaching Model (go here for
a graphic) and some narrative about how the course content intersects with
one or more components of the Model.
All education courses taught by Spring Arbor faculty should
have the following sections/items in their syllabus:

member have an associated course outline which should be used by the instructor
to create the course content and syllabus. (Edu

Undergraduate
To help you with syllabus creation, we have provided a syllabus head
start and a sample, both
in MS Word format.
All undergraduate courses taught by Spring Arbor faculty should
provide students with standard program information (aka standard
syllabus notes) from the School of Education. These
may be given out as a separate attachment (PDF
Acrobat file) or included in the syllabus (Word
file). Undergraduate off-site courses
should use the following standard program information (PDF
Acrobat file for off-site | Word
file for off-site).
All methods courses should include the following information
related to the site-based placement:
Being placed into a site-based classroom during this
course is contingent upon successful completion of all preparatory assignments
prior to the placement. Throughout the semester, failure to meet
these deadlines and/or successfully complete all assignments may result
in the loss of the site-based placement. In addition, the
student must complete all site-based expectations
and assignments in order to pass the course.
In the event that a student does not successfully complete the preparatory
work or fails to successfully complete course expectations prior to
site-based placement, the student may be given the choice to immediately
withdraw from this course or receive a "U" at the end of the semester. In
the event that a student displays unsatisfactory performance during their
site-based placement, the student may lose their site-based placement and
receive a "U" at the end of the semester.
Unsatisfactory site-based performance may include, but is not limited
to, the following unprofessional behaviors: tardiness, absenteeism, lack
of preparation, inappropriate and/or unprofessional communication with
mentor and instructor, lack of content or pedagogical knowledge, skills
and/or refusal to teach at mentor or teacher's request.
Graduate
All graduate courses taught by Spring Arbor faculty
should contain one or two paragraphs describing how the course content
interacts with the five
core propositions of
the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
All graduate courses taught by Spring Arbor faculty should
provide students with standard program information from the School of Education.
These may be given out as a separate attachment (PDF
Acrobat file) or included in the syllabus (Word
file).
