9:45 - 10:45 - Goals of the Course
1. Think //about this scenario. You are in a job interview at a school that seems to be a great fit for you. The principal looks at you, pauses, and says, "You know, there's lots of talk about "no child left behind." It's a nice goal and all, but seriously, how are we supposed to make it happen? And what about the kids who are ahead? I'll be honest with you - with class sizes hovering around 32, I don't know how we're supposed to reach every kid. But I know we have to try. If you're hired, you're going to have classes filled with all types of kids - introverts, extroverts, ELLs, special ed kids, gifted, those who can't read or can't compute. **How do you intend to make your instruction fit every kid in your class?**//

//What are the professional skills, knowledge, and dispositions you need to answer this question?//
