3.3 Active Learning Strategies active learning, syllabus

Action Research Assignments

This artifact explicitly addresses the italicized parts of the criteria. 

Indicator 3.3 - Instructors engage candidates in course content through active learning strategies (e.g., project-based or case-based instructions, simulations, action research) that require an equity lens and expose candidates to a variety of issues and school contexts.

Description: An excerpted list of action research assignments for an Educational Leadership Project course from Portland State University.

Why we selected this as an exemplar:  Our team appreciated the large focus on active learning strategies in this course by the use of improvement science. We also thought this was a good example of a course offering scaffolded opportunities to learn and apply course content, starting with a personal improvement project in the first few weeks of the course and then applying those skills to a school context.
