Educational Theory and Practice in Teaching Science III

This course for science MAT candidates is a continuation of Educational Theory and Practice 1 and 2. It is designed to provide a space for candidates in their spring student teaching placement to develop their pedagogical content knowledge of culturally responsive teaching as it pertains specifically to teaching science in middle and high school levels. Continuing from the work done in the summer and the fall, this course delves more deeply into thinking about what it means to be culturally responsive in developing science assessments and in approaching discourse, modeling and mathematical representations.
