In this non-clinical advanced level course, students examine the major concepts of the application and use of math and identification and manipulation of variables in life sciences. The major concepts include: applying mathematical modeling to a variety of concepts; using statistical concepts to model and predict; identifying and manipulating variables. The student may develops multiple engaging activities and lesson plans to teach middle or high school children details within the major concepts. Students create formative investigations and assessments related to the major concepts as well as satisfy summative assessment requirements. Students plan an integrated/thematic unit with lessons that align with Next Generation Science Standards.

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.

This is an introductory, fast-paced course on the role of the digital learning specialist and the available technology tools to improve teaching and learning. Candidates will formulate a vision for what type of digital learning specialist they will become. Individually and collaboratively, candidates will reduce fear, embrace exploration of technology in all facets and manifestations while building practical technical skills. Candidates will learn to find and evaluate resources, applications, tools and software both for teaching and their own learning. The class emphasizes the development of on-going 'self-propelled' professional development and reflection habits.
