EDUC 591E - Workshop: Science of Teaching Science

This course provides motivation and instructional strategies for K-8 teachers - especially those without a science background - to explore ways to improve their teaching practices. Each program takes an in-depth look at a real classroom, so that teachers can focus on the issues involved in teaching science, such as when to break the class into groups or the steps to supporting good data collection. Observing other teachers in unrehearsed situations will provide new and veteran teachers with fresh ideas and the confidence to try out new teaching approaches in their own classrooms.

This workshop consists of eight 90-minute video programs, an online workshop guide. Review the coursework requirements and the supporting website for more information.
