A study of applied models and methodological strategies for teaching science at the middle school level. This course will include applications such as project based learning, engineering design-based science, interdisciplinary science, and other innovative methods for applying national and state science standards to real-world contexts. Special emphasis will be given to lesson study and peer teaching and evaluation. This course is in conjunction with an eight-week field experience.
