This Stanford Teacher Education Program syllabus (Education 261D) focuses on learning how to build equitable classrooms where students have access to and engage in intellectually rigorous and linguistically rich learning tasks. Teacher candidates learn how to prepare students for groupwork and manage small groups in ways that delegate authority to students. This includes how to design “groupworthy” learning tasks that support conceptual understanding and mastery of content, as well as understanding and practicing how to design experiences that equalize participation among members of a small learning group. The fundamental pedagogical objective of the course is to ensure that all students in heterogeneous classrooms can access academically challenging curricula, participate in class regardless of their status, and successfully demonstrate what they know and are able to do.
