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).
Students can expect a highly collaborative, discussion-based exploration of STEM teaching and learning, classroom complexity, and social justice. Fieldwork includes four visits to a local middle school classroom to observe, facilitate discussions, and lead STEM lessons. This course is designed for students pursuing or seriously considering the middle or secondary STEM certification pathways.
All schools require a Prince George's County Public School security process that includes fingerprinting and a background check at an additional cost, prior to the start of the experience.
