A variety of educational reforms in both higher education and the K-12 world require teaching that complements and supplements formal, classroom-based instruction.Those responsible for empowering learners outside traditional classroom settings take on a challenging role. This course is designed for students who occupy such a learning support role.

Students will study three inter-related strands of extra-classroom teaching:

• Who are the learners (teachers included)?
• What is the subject matter (include discipline/field, specific classroom culture, and teaching roles)?
• How shall I teach in order to empower learning?
