CURR 236 (MS) Curriculum & Instruction: Science

This course builds upon CURR 114 Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment. Candidates work with the Next Generation Science Standards to identify content and effective instructional strategies and assessments to develop and implement a science curriculum. Candidates demonstrate the ability to understand and teach a grade level progression of the state adopted Next Generation Science Standards, which includes the integration of literacy for all students in science. Candidates learn how to teach students to read science texts and other materials. Candidates explore “hands-on” demonstrations, labs, activities, projects, and assessments that will be used to focus on the scientific method, investigation, and experimentation. Candidates learn how to establish a safe environment for science lessons and how to use accommodations and modifications to meet the needs of all students. An emphasis is placed on student access and participation in order for students to reach their full potential in science literacy.
