About the course

To nurture middle school and high school students? knowledge and appreciation of the physical sciences, a teacher needs more than a foundation in physics. This program develops teacher candidates? knowledge and understanding of adolescent learning and development, educational theory, and best practices in science education.

　　In the fall and spring semesters of the first year, students are in classrooms for three full days per week: observation for three weeks, then student teaching, in the same classroom, for ten weeks.

　　In the fall and spring semesters of the second year, students are in classrooms for five full days per week: observation for two weeks, then student teaching, in the same classroom, for twelve weeks.
