This course is designed to provide experiences and resources that will support the development of science MAT students. Through interactive activities, readings, and class discussions, the class, as a component to student teaching during Brown Summer High School, will explore key elements and challenges of secondary science teaching and provide a foundation for continued growth and reflection throughout the students’ teaching careers. Some of the main topics discussed in this course are national and state science standards, reform-based approaches to instruction and assessment, unit/lesson planning, the use of technology in science teaching, and laboratory safety.
