STEM Teaching and Research Clinical Seminar I

Catalog description

This is the first course in a two clinical seminar course sequence for all candidates in the Master of Arts in STEM Education program. This course is specifically designed to create a professional community of mutual support for MA STEM teacher candidates as they navigate and make sense of their clinical experience. Teacher candidates will learn about general pedagogical and school-related issues, and develop professional supports and dispositions that will enable them to engage with teaching as life-long learners while maintaining essential wellness and work-life balance. In addition, candidates will learn about preparing and conducting a successful search for a secondary STEM teaching position. This course is offered annually during the Fall semester.
