This clinical course is designed to provide prospective secondary and middle school teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to incorporate literacy skills into their mathematics content area plans. Emphasis will be on integrating the teaching of reading, writing, and oral literacy skills from various fields; students will explore and practice the methods and strategies, including testing and measurement assessments necessary to meet the diverse literacy needs of today's students allowing them to become independent students. Teaching and discussing theoretical and practical application of current theories and methods involved in teaching literacy to diverse secondary and middle student population within the contemporary pluralistic classroom, including differentiated learning styles through socioeconomic status, gender, and heritage will be emphasized. Ninety supervised clinical hours are required.

This clinical course focuses on mathematics learning theories and their application to secondary mathematics instruction. Students examine a variety of instructional strategies through readings, observation and supervised teaching. Topics include constructivist learning, differentiated learning, and an in-depth look at how the state and national standards guide mathematics instruction. Additional topics include integrated curricula, the appropriate use of technology, and effective formative, summative and alternative assessment strategies. Students plan two, 5-lesson mathematics units for two different grade levels, teaching and reflecting on lessons taught in one of the units. Depending on the certification program, a range of fifty to ninety supervised clinical hours are required.

A study of current and variable topics in Education. Course content changes from term to term. It is expected that the learner will have prior coursework or experience in the subject area.

In this non-clinical introductory level course, students examine real-life application of life science phenomena and concepts across the curriculum and how these sciences intersect with chemistry, physics, and earth space science. The student uses laboratory techniques to explain and solve problems and 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.
