Course Contract

*Goals:
-Gain an understanding and knowledge about Educational Psychology, learn the different
ways of teaching my different learners, learn ways of dealing with diversity and adolescents, and developing classroom strategies.

-Complete assignments given correctly, accurately, be a good group member (when needed), and take advantage of the information and resources given for my future teaching experience.

-Have fun, learn, develop better reading and studying skills, and stay motivated.

*Weekly preparation plan:
-My preparation will consist of reading a little bit each day of the assigned reading for the discussions we will be having the next time in class, taking notes from the reading to help better my understanding, and to keep in fresh in my memory for the bell quiz. I will review the schedule, emails, and course web site daily to stay caught up on all assignments. I will also work on assignments and projects in advanced so be prepared for myself and also for my group, I will also be sure to be on time and prepared for each class.

*Study Strategies:
-As I do the reading I will take notes to help me remember and better understand the reading. When I'm not understanding the reading I will take a note of that and do further research to find my answer. I will use the course web site and the materials given to help me better understand and study the material. I feel I can also lean on other members in the cohort and also Dr. Cox when I have questions through email, text, study groups, or phone calls.

*Process in understanding a topic:
-When I don't understand a topic I will do some researching on my own to try to figure out my own question, I will then email some others my cohort or Dr. Cox for help as to where to find some help, use the class website, and be sure to ask questions while in class so I better better understand what I need to at home.


I will reach my goals in this course by doing the following things I listed above. I will do my part in preparation planning and work, I will continue and stick with my strategies I developed for studying, and do the proper things I need to in understanding the things I need to know for this course. I will as a good group member, and get my work in on time, and last of all make this class a main priority along with my other courses.
