About EDCI 353

EDCI 353 introduces students to current and emerging trends and factors that affect classroom practice. During this course, you will experience TeachLive by practicing your teaching skills with virtual students who have realistic and diverse personalities, behaviors, and responses. You will create and teach a 10-12 minute lesson plan based on your program area. In addition, you will be able to watch a recording of your session and learn from your strengths and weaknesses. The goal of this TeachLive experience is to help you develop confidence and essential classroom management skills required for real classrooms.

Lesson Plan Submission

During EDCI 353, you will create and deliver a lesson plan based on your program area using the EDCI 353 Lesson Plan Template. This will give you more autonomy and ownership over your teaching, as well as more opportunities to practice and improve your skills.

Reflect on Your Session

Following your TeachLive session, you will receive a video recording and a rubric with feedback from a veteran teacher. The video recording can be accessed through the Mursion Portal, and the feedback rubric will be emailed to you within ten days of your session.

The rubric is designed to evaluate delivery, management, and assessment skills. It will also include suggestions for improvement and areas of strength.

The TeachLive Coordinators are only responsible for delivering your TeachLive experience. Any assignments associated with TeachLive are allocated by your course instructor.
