In this introductory level 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 introductory level lessons that include appropriate activities and assessments aligned to a clear and measurable learning objective. 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 non-clinical intermediate course, students examine the major concepts around the flow of matter and energy within ecosystems and explore the best methodologies to teach these concepts. The major concepts include: energy production in organisms; cycling of carbon through each sphere; carbon?s role in living things; cycling of matter and energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions; and cycling of matter and energy among organisms and ecosystems. The student 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 intermediate 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 intermediate level lessons that include higher order thinking, rich academic language, differentiation, and data based instructional decisions. Students' clinical assignments are carried out and assessed in an approved science classroom under the supervision of faculty and on-site Supervising Practitioners.
