Educational Psychology The Educational Psychology component of SEYS prepares teacher candidates to be reflective practitioners who possess the knowledge,skills, and disposition necessary for enacting their own learning and for enhancing the learning experiences and development of children and adolescents in a diverse,democratic, and inclusive community. Teacher candidates apply their understanding of a broad range of theories and principles to work with middle and high school students who display great diversity in learning abilities and exceptionalities, language, and socioeconomic status.
Core Requirements in Education Psychology Language, Literacy, and CultureThe
Language, Literacy and Culture program aims at promoting teacher
candidates’ understanding of language and literacy development of
adolescents, particularly second language acquisition, English as a
second language (ESL), and multilingual and multicultural education. We
strive to create a dynamic synergy among these areas in order to better
address the needs of English language learners (ELL) and learners with
special needs in the mainstream subject matter classroom.

Social and Philosophical Foundations Courses in the Social
and Philosophical Foundations sequence provide overview of theory and
research on key sociological, philosophical, historical, and political
foundations of education. Consideration is given to how foundational
issues are evident and addressed in classroom situations and practices.
While some of the courses deal with contemporary socio-economic and
political issues that continue to influence and shape education
decision-making, others undertake theoretical analyses of major
educational ideas and practices in the United States. Attention is also
given to how the growth and use of technology have influenced the
educational environment. Foundations courses are designed to test
students’ ability to think critically and reflectively about fundamental
educational questions. Field experience is included for students who
are not currently teaching.
