Methods of Instruction: This course is being delivered as a hybrid course and Jenzabar will be the module program that will hold your syllabus, give you class announcements, handouts, reading assignments, project directions, and with timelines attached to opening and closing of said activities. Class meeting will be held on Tuesday and will include direct instruction (lecture and power point presentations), discussion, group work, peer teaching, workshops (when available), student presentations, hands–on demonstrations, and field-based applications.

Your Rights and Responsibilities: If you have special learning or physical disabilities (formally diagnosed), you have legal rights to course modifications. Please identify yourself to the professor so that he/she may assist you with your course progress. If you suspect that you have a learning disability, you can speak to Annette Charette on campus to assist you in this area of your education.

Course Requirements

You are responsible to bring your syllabus and primary text book to each class meeting. Make up tests are arranged when the emergency is documented with appropriate paper work. Each class period will have an activity with the type and length of the activity differing depending on the content of the week’s learning objectives. You are expected to read each chapter assignment or supplemental readings prior to class, be accountable for the objectives, key words and phrases

of the chapter. Your topics will need to be researched and proof of TMCC library references will be requested.

Attendance, Class Participation : Many of the activities require your active participation; therefore, attendance and active participation are very important and will count toward final course grades. You will receive class participation and Jenzabar assignment points. If you are ill or have a family emergency, please notify me by email. It is the responsibility of the student to meet the Teacher Education Department’s Policy of 95% attendance. Please refer to student handbook concerning this policy.

Cultural Content: The culture of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa is integrated

throughout this course as the Seven Teachings are a part of our lives, We will share

information as well as activities and learn from each other as we respect the language and

values of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa. This being an educational foundations course, it is very important for us to look closely at what has happened in Indian Country concerning the education strategies and methods adopted.

Service Learning: Our mission is to promote reciprocal connections among students, faculty, and community members through integrated academic coursework and service in the community, and to encourage the development of socially and environmentally responsible citizens. The philosophy of service learning is truly not about getting extra points in class, but about seeing the value of your volunteerism and how it improves your knowledge of what is needed or expected in your chosen field of work.

Performance Assessments : An evaluation of your papers, assignments, projects, in-class discussions, small and large group presentations, and participation will determine whether or not you've met the instructional objectives for the course. Scholarship, initiative, cooperation, attitude and improvement will also be taken into consideration.
