science
The program to prepare science teachers for grades 9-12 builds off a candidate's strong background in the laboratory sciences. Coursework and field experiences focus on developing strong pedagogical content knowledge as it relates specifically to teaching high school science. Our program is strong in the use of technology for teaching and learning and candidates develop expertise with hand-held and computer-based technologies used for learning and teaching science. Candidates are expected to engage as scholars to synthesize research literature on learning and teaching science and use scientific inquiry methods in their planning, instruction, and assessment of students.
