EDES 487 Methods in Teaching Secondary Science


3 semester hours

This course prepares secondary science teaching candidates to teach science using an inquiry approach as described in the National Science Education Standards (National Research Council, 1996, 2000) by integrating the three dimensions of A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (National Research Council, 2012), in an effort to meet the student’s performance expectations outlined in The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) (National Research Council, 2013). Methods for long- and short-range planning, unit plan design, and creation of authentic assessments are woven together to support teachers in creating effective learning environments for their students. A field experience component will be required.

Special approval required.
