The Master of Science in Education program offers selected graduate courses at St. Norbert College. We are opening each of these courses to all interested K-12 teachers and other educators. Each course is three graduate credits. The following courses will be offered during the summer of 2009: 

EDUC 589B - Instructional Technology (3 credits)
Dr. Scott Kirst, assistant professor of education
In this hands-on, project-centered exploration, the participants will develop a standards-based unit plan designed around an interdisciplinary topic that incorporates multiple technology-based learning objects. Participants will have the opportunity to enhance their curricular and instructional knowledge as they develop skills with video cameras, digital cameras, audio and video editing software, GPS units, Palm handhelds and online discussion boards. Be prepared to bring a map, an open mind and a creative spirit as we traverse the Green Bay/De Pere area and probe the depths of emerging technologies as it pertains to your passion for teaching. No previous experience with these technologies is needed for this course.

EDUC 589 - Differentiating Instruction Using the Understanding by Design Framework
(3 credits)
Dr. Melissa Kirst, visiting professor of education
This graduate course offered in the summer of 2009 will concentrate on differentiating instruction through: creating a research-based unit plan, implementing a comprehensive assessment model, and integrating classroom management techniques designed specifically for the classroom. Using the Understanding by Design framework, the participant will develop a two-week plan that is engaging, relevant, student-centered, and technology-based to share with the classmates and use immediately in the coming year. Bring your exciting ideas, plenty of questions, and a USB drive to save all of the unit plans created by your classmates.
