STED 4500K - STEM Methods for Secondary Teacher Education


This course is designed to prepare secondary science teachers who demonstrate their understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education as an interdisciplinary endeavor and build fundamental knowledge of integrated STEM teaching by delivering hands-on, rigorous, content rich STEM instruction. The course will focus on supporting secondary science teachers uncovering big picture concepts through inquiry-based activities, planning meaningful integrated STEM lesson plans, assessing student understanding of STEM content, and demonstrating leadership abilities by designing STEM community outreach activities and participating in collaborative partnerships. The course will also examine psychological underpinnings of STEM learning, STEM curricula and standards, classroom layout and safety, designing and implementing authentic experiences in STEM, and research-based instructional strategies and assessment development, evaluation, and revision.
