The Department of Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education is offering a course this spring for elementary teachers.

Overarching course goal: Together, we will explore, reflect on, and develop the knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills needed to foster the success of elementary students in STEM.

Aim 1:
To develop a deeper understanding of content and pedagogical practices relevant to K-5 science teaching

Aim 2:
To investigate problems of practice associated with the position of science in STEM

Question 1:
What is the current state and position of science in the STEM or STEAM Education Era?

Question 2:
What is scientific inquiry? How is it related to scientific practices? Are practices different from skills?
