Creating Intentional Learning Environments for Curiosity, Connection, Identity, and Belonging

3.0 units

This course is an investigation of early childhood classroom elements and designs for indoor and outdoor learning environments that support child development, child engagement, and interpersonal, social connections, and relationships. This course highlights classroom design elements that stimulate, sustain, enhance, or detract from, development and learning in early childhood, both indoors and out. Based on principles of architecture and spatial design, students analyze, evaluate, and design ECE spaces critically and with intentionality. In this co-learning environment, we consider actual experiences of educators and young learners using environmental spaces to guide our use of theory on learning spaces. We study how elements of the environment support trusting relationships, comfort, osmosis, sensory integration, community, constructivist problem solving, narration, symbolic representation, literacy and numeracy, and rich imagination. We focus particularly on how spaces support identity and belonging for all children.

Teacher Induction Transition and the Individual Learning Plan

Upon entering the UCLA Extension Induction Program, each participating teacher works with his/her mentor to plan for the transition from a preliminary teacher credential program to this teacher induction program. After a review of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and available evidence of teaching performance from the teacher’s preliminary credential program, the mentor guides the participating teacher to develop professional growth goals for an individual learning plan (ILP). The ILP is integrated into each induction program course and periodically updated throughout the program. The mentor and participating teacher discuss the methods and criteria that are used to measure ongoing growth in the CSTP and assess readiness to be recommended for the Clear Credential at the conclusion of the program.

The essential question for this course is: Who are my students and how do I create an effective environment for learning for all students?This course is designed to support induction candidates in accomplishing several objectives in the context of (a) their own individual learning plan and the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), (b) the support they receive from an induction mentor, and (c) the course’s essential question regarding knowing your students and creating effective learning environments for all students: a) In consultation with the assigned mentor, develop an individual learning plan (ILP) that identifies CSTP-related areas of need for professional growth and includes one or more goals that are connected to the course’s essential question; b) in consultation with the assigned mentor, develop an inquiry question and classroom-based action plan to examine an area of need identified in the ILP that focuses on improving an aspect of teaching practice that has an impact on student learning the inquiry question should have a connection to the course’s essential question, and the action plan should allow for collection of evidence to assess effectiveness with students as well as evidence of teacher growth; c) in consultation with the assigned mentor, select and use relevant pathway-to-learning modules provided in this course, as well as other recommended resources, to build deeper understanding in the area of need that is the subject of the inquiry question and action plan; and d) use a plan-teach-reflectapply approach to implement the action plan for the inquiry question. This approach includes collecting and analyzing sources of evidence for analysis and reflection that may include classroom video and artifacts of student learning, and includes mentor coaching with respect to identified areas for improvement of teaching practices. The implementation of the action plan culminates in reflection on how new knowledge and insights will be applied to ongoing practices to create an effective environment for learning for all students, as well as initial ideas for a capstone project that will be completed in the final course of the program.

Teacher Induction Mentor Support C

2.0 CEUs

A key component of the teacher induction program is its job-embedded system of mentoring support and professional learning. The UCLA Extension mentor that is assigned to each participating teacher is responsible for coordinating with the teacher, school site administrators, and program instructors to support the teacher’s planning and implementation of an individual learning plan, and to provide coaching and ongoing support for improving instructional practices. Participating teachers receive an average of at least one hour per week of individualized support throughout each academic year during which they are enrolled in the induction program, and they maintain documentation of all support activities. Participating teachers who have been assigned a UCLA Extension mentor must be enrolled concurrently in this course while completing the other induction program coursework.

1.0 CEUs

Teacher Induction Program Mentors prepare for their role and responsibilities to guide new teachers through multiple cycles of individualized professional learning and reflection.

Mentors build knowledge and skills that enable them to support and coach new teachers with a focus on individual learning plans and improving teaching practices. Supported by online and video-conferencing technologies, mentors learn methods to provide just-in-time support as well as to engage with new teachers in coaching conversations about teaching performance, student learning, and professional growth. Mentors also participate in a collaborative community of practice with their peers to enhance their own skills as mentors and instructional coaches.
