EDUCATION PSYCHOLOGY

Order Instructions

Overview:

In the first unit of the course, we discussed what it means to be an intentional teacher and some of

the qualities that intentional teachers possess. Throughout the course, we have tied all of the

theories and course topics to the practice of intentional teaching. For this course project, you will

complete a Teacher Spotlight Interview and incorporate the many concepts and theories that we

have discussed throughout the course into your final reflection.

Teacher Spotlight Interview:

For this project, you will interview a teacher that you believe espouses many qualities of an

intentional teacher. This can be a teacher from your past, one of your children’s teachers, a

teacher you work with, or perhaps even a teacher in your community that you have heard great

things about. You might even want to contact your local district and inquire who last year’s

“Teacher of the Year” was if you aren’t sure where to start in selecting your interviewee. For your

interview, use the Teacher Spotlight Interview Form provided to help plan and guide your

questioning.

Your project must contain the following elements:

• Teacher Spotlight Interview Form

PSY260 – Educational Psychology

Final Course Project

• Reflection Paper: In your Reflection Paper, summarize the interview

responses/classroom observations you experienced. Make course connections by tying

these responses/observations to the theories, concepts, and practices that we have

discussed throughout the course. Include your key takeaways from the

interview/observation and a discussion of which theories most strongly drive the practices

of the teacher, you have interviewed/observed. Elaborate on these course connections.

An example: If the teacher states that they use a Token Economy system in their class

to increase student motivation, you would then discuss Skinner’s Operant Conditioning

and Extrinsic Motivation as well. These are both theories and concepts that were

discussed in the course that informs this teacher’s intentional practice of the use of

Token Economies.

• Three (3) Scholarly Sources: Be sure to cite your references throughout your paper.

Requirements:
