Educational Theory and Practice for Science II

This course provides opportunities for science MATs to meet the Rhode Island Professional Teacher Standards (RIPTS) and the National Science Teacher Association Preservice science teacher standards. In this particular semester, the objectives are to be able to develop standards-based lesson plans and activities for your students that are culturally responsive in science based on your knowledge of students and how they learn; use an evaluation framework to distinguish curriculum quality; and successfully revise curriculum as necessary in order to meet the needs of your students in a culturally responsive way.
