ELCL 6200 Math Clinic

This course provides teachers with a clinical experience in identifying and rebuilding mathematics conceptions of school-age children. Its purpose is to provide teachers with an opportunity to explore and apply current professional standards by examining in-depth the ways in which students interpret and think about school mathematics content. During the course of the semester, each teacher works with one or two children. The primary assessment and teaching tool used is the individual clinical interview in the content of problem solving and scaffolded learning experiences. Technology applications of mathematical concepts and procedures are also used to further understand children’s reasoning. A detailed assessment and instructional plan for each student is developed and implemented during the semester. Prerequisite(s): ELCL 6140, ELCL 6150, ELCL 6160 OR CIEE 6140, 6150, 6160
