Complimentary Colloquium Course: EDCI 788J (1 Credit Course) - Spring 2009
The Colloquium sessions are also being taught as part of a course: EDCI 788J. This course will focus on pay-for-performance incentive plans and their potential for impacting student achievement. Students will research the development and specifics of such plans, review the implementation of such plans, and through testimony of educational experts (principals, teachers, parents, and K-12 students), readings, and class discussions make informed decisions on pay-for -performance models as reform agents. Educational experts, including College of Education faculty, will appear in class through the course's embedded colloquium series.
This course has been developed to expand the semester colloquium series of the Maryland Institute for Minority Achievement and Urban Education (MIMAUE). Each semester, MIMAUE develops a colloquium focusing on current and critical issues related to the schooling of minority children in urban schools. This semester, the topic under discussion is pay-for-performance incentive plans currently being developed, and implemented in mostly urban schools. Plans that involve administrators and principals, teachers, and K-12 stidents will be researched, interpreted and analyzed throughout the semester. Critical participants and stakehoders of such plans will be invited as speakers in the colloquium sessions. It is also anticipated that a group of K-12 students and their parents will be available for one colloquium session.This course is open to students across the College of Education. Meeting times are Wednesdays, 4:30 to 6:30PM. Meeting Dates are January 28, February 4, 18, March 4, April 1, 8, 22, 29.
