In this advanced clinical course, students participate in several formative clinical experience tasks to prepare them for the facilitation of effective 7-12 science lessons. Students use Next Generation Science Standards and prior student evidence to create and deliver advanced level lessons that include instructional strategies generated based on student data, scaffolding for unique student needs, varied assessments, and high quality reflections. Students' clinical assignments are carried out and assessed in an approved science classroom under the supervision of faculty and on-site Supervising Practitioners.

In this culminating, field-based course, students use their content knowledge and field experience to design and implement a three lesson unit that reflects the full range of experiences based on the standards for certification in Life Sciences for Grade 7-12 and the professional education standards for all teachers. As part of the course, candidates demonstrate completion of all requirements for teacher certification through the Teacher Candidate Assessment of Performance (TCAP).

This course investigates the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a tool to meet the needs of all learners in the classroom. Candidates explore the UDL framework and examine how designing lessons with the UDL guidelines can improve and optimize learning for all students. Candidates research the use of assistive technologies to allow every student access to the curriculum, as well as determine what assistive technology is appropriate for overcoming barriers to learning.
