UTCH 2001 - Inquiry Approaches to Teaching

(1 Lecture Hours 0 Lab Hours 1 Credit Hours)

The purpose of Step 1 is to have students explore teaching experiences in science or mathematics. Students teach science or mathematics lessons in local elementary classrooms and obtain first-hand experience with planning and implementing inquiry-based curriculum. The instructor introduces students to the theory and practice behind inquiry-based science and mathematics instruction and guides them through the process of designing and preparing to teach lessons. The course requires field experiences at local schools and requires a satisfactory result on the College of Education Criminal Background Check.
