Planning, Integrating, and Adapting Curriculum: Math and Science

Catalog description

This course is designed to enable teacher candidates to understand and plan curriculums for teaching math and science. This course will start from the perspective of teacher candidates' experiences of learning science and mathematics. They will reflect on their own prior experiences with math and science and discover the impact of those experiences on their feelings of efficacy. Teacher candidates will experience teaching strategies and processes that we expect them to master and use in teaching math and science for young children in inclusive settings. Within an integrated framework, teacher candidates will develop the conceptual knowledge base for developing a coherent science and mathematics program with developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Clinical experiences are required.
