Instructor's comments on your instructional analysis and objectives -- Jz833665 11:12, 19 October 2009 (EDT)

"Communications to support math understanding" is a very interesting topic. Nice thought.

Have you found any research-based references on this topic? Find the key ones and build on and focus on them; don't expect yourself to write the core content of you course from scratch; instead you will work on the instructional design side.

Learning Objectives: 1. The educator will be able to identify different types of communications skills to be used in a classroom. 2. The educator be able to explain when a communication skill would be useful. 

My questions: do you also expect the participants to be able to develop strategies to invite and support such communications in classrooms? Do you expect them to be able to assess/understand student understand based on their communications?

Your objectives can be more "solid" I think.
