Accelerated Introduction to STEM Teaching
Credits:
3
Grad Meth:
Reg, P-F, Aud
Credit only granted for: TLPL101 and TLPL102; or TLPL286.
Additional information: For the lab component of this course, students must reserve a three-hour window in their schedules between the hours of 8am-3pm, to be utilized approximately 10 weeks in the semester. This lab will be a combination of collaborative group work and a fieldwork component in a local partner school, which requires fingerprinting and a background check (facilitated by Terrapin Teachers).
This course is the starting point for students pursuing or seriously considering the middle school or secondary STEM undergraduate and graduate certification pathways. This one-semester course will substitute for both TLPL101 and TLPL102, thereby accelerating the undergraduate pathway. Students will make four visits to a local middle school classroom to observe, facilitate discussions, and lead STEM lessons. Students can expect a highly collaborative, discussion-based exploration of STEM teaching and learning, classroom complexity, and social justice.
