Candidates may apply to teach one or both courses, depending on their availability. Course descriptions and meeting times are listed below:

EDUC 517: Curriculum and Methods of Teaching Business. The primary objective of this class is to prepare you to teach business and marketing subjects at the 7th - 12th grade levels. This field includes, but is not limited to, accounting, marketing, finance, information systems, data analysis, and keyboarding. The class emphasizes methodology, curriculum planning, unit and lesson planning, and classroom management. It is assumed that students will be able to apply business and marketing subject matter knowledge to their new learning in the field of pedagogy.

EDUC 517 is set to meet from July 8 to August 16, 2024 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. Classes are in person.

EDUC 481: Instructional Theory and Practice (Business). This course, which considers the theory and practice of effective instructional practices in diverse business and marketing classrooms, will focus on the components of instruction and will be practice-oriented and performance-based. Additionally, this course provides prospective teachers with a framework to help them reflect on and improve their student teaching experience. Consequently, students will study Danielson's Framework for Teaching and use it to analyze their success within the four domains of planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities. Emphasis will be given to the understanding and application of the New York State Student Learning Standards. Such topics as unit planning and lesson planning, motivation, inclusion, diversity, teacher expectations, questioning skills, feedback strategies, methodology, technologies, and evaluation and assessment will be studied. The prospective teacher will develop and practice behaviors and strategies characteristic of effective teaching. Attention will be given to ways to place middle and high school students in more active roles as learners. Students pursuing certification through Siena's teacher preparation program will be required to complete a forty-hour field experience in inclusive classrooms at the secondary level (grades 7-12). EDUC 481 is set to meet in person from 5:00-8:00 P.M. on Thursdays.
