Course Description & Goals
This course is an introduction to designing elementary math and science lessons using inquiry. Three big ideas drive the instruction and activities for this course (based on How People Learn, 2000):
1. That young learners enter the classroom with prior knowledge of math and science that needs to be addressed during instruction;
2. Each lesson should be designed around a limited number of learning goals that deepen a learner’s conceptual framework about math and/or science;
3. In addition to providing opportunities for the teacher to assess student thinking, lessons must provide students opportunities to monitor and reflect upon their own learning.
Additionally, as promoted by the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics ([CCSS-M], CDE, 2013) and Next Generation Science Standards ([NGSS], NGSS Lead States, 2013), course activities and discussions will focus on how lessons should provide learners with opportunities to learn how knowledge in math and science is constructed and communicated by practitioners of those fields (i.e. Mathematicians & Scientists). The work completed during this course will help candidates learn to evaluate existing elementary curriculum/resources and be able to modify them when needed.
1. Candidates will learn how to design inquiry-based math and science lessons that:
2. Candidates will learn how to use assessment to monitor student learning during inquiry lessons.
3. In addition to making connections across the credential program, candidates will have interdisciplinary thinking and planning with specific connections between EDUC 407/507 and EDUC 405/505. Opportunities for these connections are indicated in the course schedule.
