Block
1 is the first main experience in the UWSP curriculum for
becoming a licensed K-12 teacher. Block 1 student generally have not
had much formal coursework on teaching prior to Block 1. If that is not
true for you, you may want to discuss your particular history with one or
more of the Block 1 instructors in order to have the content and
requirements tailored to your special case. |

| Ed. 351 Exceptional Needs | Bardon | |
| Ed. 381 Ed Psych | Shaw | Buchanan |
| IRES 331 Audiovisual Media | Riggs | |
Each of these three credit courses has its own meeting, in addition to the general Block 1 meeting on Tuesdays at 2. Ed. 351 also meets on Tuesdays in the next hour after the Block 1 meeting. IRES 331 meets in CPS 116 on Mondays at 2 and Ed. 381 meets in the same room an hour later.
3. Discussion
section meetings
For each Block 1 course, a student has a discussion meeting. So, in addition to the Block 1 and the individual course lectures, there are smaller meetings for each discussion section.
In total then, if you are taking all three Block 1 courses, which is typical, there are a total of 7 class meetings for nine credits: the Block meeting, three course lectures and three discussion groups.
Generally, each group will be responsible for problems or assignments that relate to both Ed. 351 and Ed. 381.
The
requirements of IR 331 can be met in carrying out the group responsibilities through the use of various
tools such as Dream Weaver (for web pages), PowerPoint, AppleWorks (for a newsletter or handout assignments),
I-movie, Kid Pix or Inspiration.
