• XMA 560: Final Portfolio

  3.00 Credits

  Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

  
  This project is a culmination of the student's yearlong involvement as a "novic" teacher in an urban public school setting. Under the auspices of a university professor, students will conduct an action-research based inquiry and reflective analysis of an identified topic that will be framed as a qualitative research question. A literature review, along with a problem-based model of analysis will provide the student with the necessary skills to produce either a written thesis, or a portifolio that reflects a professional response to a particular urban education focus. An oral and written presentation before an audience of one's peers (teachers) and university faculty will serve as the end-product along with the student's document in the form of a final paper or portfolio.
