1.5 units

This course is part of a two-semester series. Moving beyond fundamental lesson planning and assessment structures, students in this course will learn specific strategies to develop and assess their students' STEM academic skills and abilities and implement effective discourse in their classrooms. Students will design instructional activities that allow their students to explore and discuss challenging problems and tasks through structures such as problem-solving seminars and performance-based assessments. Students will use a framework to plan and implement instructional practices, and gather evidence to reflect on and analyze key takeaways as a mode for improving their own teaching practice. Students must have instructor approval to register.
