This course involves four main components related to the development of teacher or program leaders and peer coaches: (1) knowledge of learning and teaching and culturally sustaining pedagogy; (2) forms of peer coaching, including collaborative work (CW) and formal observations; (3) stages of teacher development and models of professional learning; and (4) types, purposes, and styles of reflective practice and teacher (action) research. Instructional approaches include both large and small group work and simulation/role play as well as field experiences emphasizing authentic applications of theory and practice in school and community settings.

The first practicum provides an overview of critical roles and responsibilities of a special education director. This is a central office position which requires organizational oversight of special education program in a district. Students will be able to examine federal and state mandates related to inclusion practices and IDEA regulations. Students identify the competencies that they need to concentrate on during the first practicum. Candidates examine the primary role of a special education director through the pre-assessment with the university supervisor and onsite cooperating special education director. Additionally, students begin to understand how to work effectively with school principals. The Clinical Practicum experience is designed to enable candidates to gain hands-on experience in leadership as an intern. The Clinical Practicum is a requirement for all administrative licensures, and it has two main goals. The first goal is to give the intern an opportunity to have real experiences related to the Director of Special Education position under the supervision of an experienced Director who can offer day-to-day feedback. Secondly, structured dialogues about the leadership field experience, in the form of individual or group sessions, are designed to help the intern process and make sense of the experience as a whole. St. Thomas supports the clinical practicum concept as an extension of the learning that takes place in the Director of Special Education licensure coursework. Prerequisites: EDLD 575 or EDLD 576, or a State-approved teaching license

It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.

In recent decades, infectious diseases such as West Nile virus, Ebola, Zika, MERS, HIV, H5N1 and H1N1 influenza virus have jumped geographical boundaries and even species boundaries to emerge in new populations. This class offers an introduction to emerging and reemerging infectious disease and focuses on the underlying mechanisms of microbial emergence, epidemiology, and the strategies available to contain them. In this age of antibiotics and vaccines, why do millions die each year from infectious diseases worldwide? With new pathogens continuing to emerge, can we ever hope to win the battle? The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases involves many interrelated factors. Global interconnectedness continues to increase with international travel and trade; economic, political, and cultural interactions; and human-to-human and animal-to-human interactions. This course will address the biological mechanism of infectious disease and the socioeconomic and ecological factors that influence the outbreak of infectious diseases.

We will pay particular attention to health systems and the role these systems play in promoting health and development around the globe. The course is global in its scope, but the focus of many of our discussions will be on low- and middle-income countries, the health of the poor, and health inequity. The relationship between health and socio-economic development will be examined throughout the course. The course will expose students to concepts from social epidemiology, such as social determinants of health and the impact of various social, economic, political, and historical contexts on health.

Welcome to PUBH 350: Environment, Health and Justice. In this course we will examine public health structures, principles, tools, and programs used to address current and historical environmental health issues. Throughout the course we will consider how the world we live in impacts our health, how we negatively impact the environment and our own health, and what can be done to improve population health. We will consider these topics from an environmental justice perspective because around the world environmental hazards and diseases are not equally distributed across all populations. Environmental health issues are complex and in order to more fully understand them we will draw on ideas and concepts from sociology, economics and environmental epidemiology, toxicology, and regulation. This course will encourage you to understand and think critically about ways public health systems measure, control, and remove exposures to environmental hazards to protect population health.

Writing to learn
In this course, students will explore approaches to theology that emerge out of diverse cultural contexts. Sections may focus on biblical interpretation, dynamics of church life, mission work, or transnational solidarity through the eyes of the marginalized, or they may focus on efforts to articulate and bear witness to the gospel amid new cultures and historical challenges, according to the instructor’s discretion. Sections may focus on experiences of marginalization and oppression as a source for theological reflection for women (giving rise to feminist/womanist/mujerista theologies, for example), or for people of color or indigenous peoples (giving rise to Latin American, African-American, Minjung, and South African liberation theologies, for example), or for economically exploited classes (also giving rise to liberation theologies). This course will thus provide an opportunity to learn how the global Christian community is gaining fresh insights into the gospel that were missed when the dominant perspective on theology reflected primarily the experience of European men, or to learn how claims by Christians have at various times served both to challenge and to reinforce systems of power and privilege.

This course invites students to explore Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Indigenous worldviews, or other traditions, in relation to Christianity. They may also examine distinctions within a single religious tradition (between Sunni and Shia sects within Islam, for example). Classes may focus on lived practice, modes of inter- and intrareligious dialogue, theologies of religious pluralism, or sacred texts. Students will critically and creatively reflect on the theological opportunities and challenges posed by the reality of religious pluralism in our contemporary world.
