Emphasizing visual representations, engaging students, assessing learning, and teaching comprehension are essential for learning any content, expressing ideas, and for the transference of knowledge. Students will also learn strategies for developing content assessments and how to relate the curriculum and assessments to state, provincial, or country standards and adjust for diverse populations.
