Prerequisite Course: C&I 302 M
Concurrent Courses: Ed Psy 391 & SpEd 305

Program Overview
C&I 303 M is the third in a professional sequence that will help you in the life-long process of becoming a secondary mathematics teacher. It builds upon the first two courses in the sequence and adds a special focus on the practice of high school mathematics teaching. Although mathematical investigations and theories of learning and teaching permeate this as they do all courses in the four course sequence, students in C&I 303 are expected to

• incorporate broad perspectives of mathematics, teaching, and learning into teaching practices appropriate for diverse student populations as well as group discussions and writings
• incorporate flexibility and spontaneity into teaching situations
• provide evidence of readiness to enter the mathematics teaching profession through participation and formal evaluation.

Your active participation in community, inquiry, reflection, and classroom teaching situations and in the construction of hardcopy and electronic presentation portfolios will help you prepare yourself for student teaching as well as for the procurement of a teaching position.
