with a focus on observing how teachers teach differently to developmental
levels of students, and on the roles of the family and community in

through the school perspective." Students will be learning a variety of
techniques of observation used by the education researcher, discussing
their observation and insights, and reading and studying key developmental

Blackboard effectively. The field component is 25-hours at K-12 schools,
and ten hours with a family and/or community service. Level: Freshmen and
