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 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.

Candidates will explore how to effectively use technology with differentiation, rigor, relevance, and engaging learning experiences to enhance existing curriculum. Candidates will gain knowledge of digital tools to model, promote, and facilitate experiences that advance learner competency, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
