Confratute for Credit 2022
Confratute can be taken for graduate credit and is fully accredited in Educational Psychology at the University of Connecticut, earning you three (3) graduate credits in either EPSY 5195: Workshop in Education or EPSY 5198: Curriculum Lab. Additionally, all of our strands for Confratute are offered through the Educational Psychology Gifted and Talented Department at the University of Connecticut and may be considered for purposes of teacher certification in the field of gifted in some states.
EPSY 5195 Workshop in Education—Professional personnel to work cooperatively on problems arising out of actual school situations. In strands associated with this course, teachers and administrators learn to explore various options for gifted students and to develop plans for meeting their needs in a wide variety of school settings.
EPSY 5198 Curriculum Lab—Reorganization of courses, reorientation of the program of studies, articulation of administrative units, and development of new materials are considered in relation to the local situation. Students make individual studies of their specific problems, and group studies of related problems. In strands associated with this course, participants will receive basic information about techniques for curriculum development during large and small group sessions. Specific techniques for creating curriculum units for the gifted in the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences will be stressed.
