Project-Based Instruction

4 credits · Undergraduate

Framed around the topic of sustainability, the course engages students from different math, science, and engineering majors in the process of applying the content knowledge from their discipline to build project-based curricula for presentation as part of the field placement. Students develop pedagogical content knowledge and relate teaching theory to practice through readings, classroom activities, discussion, lesson planning, and field observations. Field placements of 4 hours per week will be scheduled in middle and high school math and science classrooms, and discussion groups will be scheduled at a time convenient for each team to work collaborate.
