Current Course Description: In the planning and implementation of strategies and concepts related to math and science, students will learn and make use of the process, the conceptual approach, problem solving and guided discovery. Integration in planning, use of teaching strategies, and concept attainment between these two areas will also be emphasized. Emphasis will be on active participation and modeling of strategies being taught. |

New Course Description: In the planning and implementation of strategies and concepts related to mathematics, students will learn and make use of mathematical processes, conceptual approaches, problem solving and guided discovery. Planning, use of teaching strategies, and concept attainment in mathematics will be emphasized. Emphasis will be on active participation and modeling of strategies being taught. |
|
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): The current ED 453 class links mathematics and science in the same class. Our proposal is to split these content areas into separate classes to more adequately prepare elementary education majors in subject specific teaching methods. We are also proposing to add a stand-alone elementary science methods class. |
|
Students/Program affected: All students enrolled in the undergraduate/post-bacc. program who have been admitted to the Education Core. |
