In this non-clinical advanced course, students examine the major concepts around the genetics and mechanisms of inheritance in organisms and explore the best methodologies to teach these concepts. The major concepts include: mitosis and cell division; DNA and the inheritance of traits; meiosis, mutations and change over time; and the statistics of genetics. 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 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.
