Founded in 1863, Saint Mary’s is a residential campus nestled 20 miles east of San Francisco in the picturesque Moraga Valley. Based in the Catholic, Lasallian and Liberal Arts traditions, Saint Mary’s currently enrolls more than 4,000 students from diverse backgrounds in undergraduate and graduate programs. The De La Salle Christian Brothers, the largest teaching order of the Roman Catholic Church, guide the spiritual and academic character of the College.

As a comprehensive and independent institution, Saint Mary’s offers undergraduate and graduate programs integrating liberal and professional education. Saint Mary’s reputation for excellence, innovation, and responsiveness in education stems from its vibrant heritage as a Catholic, Lasallian and Liberal Arts institution. An outstanding, committed faculty and staff that value shared inquiry, integrative learning, and student interaction bring the traditions to life in the 21st century.

The College is committed to the educational benefits of diversity.

This class builds on what students are learning in SSTE 550, Instruction Design I, and SSTE 550L, Instructional Design Content Breakouts. In this class, students will continue to be challenged as intellectuals and as critically reflective practitioners. Students will take what is learned and directly apply it to observations of their cooperating teachers and to their own teaching practices. Students will also be called to integrate what has been learned in their placements into their methods class.

The two are not separate; rather theories, principles, classroom practice, and reflection inform one another in the praxis cycle.
