EDU 5351 Interdisciplinary Connections in Science: Focus on Classrooms with Special Needs
(formerly EDU 581A; formerly STEM for Special Education, Alternative Programs and Diverse Populations)
This course is designed to provide perspective to integrate two or more disciplines into coherent connections to enable students to make relevant connections and generate meaningful associations. Students will learn the knowledge and skills needed to effectively design and teach a science-focused, concept-based curriculum with an emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach. Findings from different theoretical frameworks of learning, as applied to the development and delivery of an interdisciplinary science curriculum will be examined and integrated into teaching practices. Students will also develop interdisciplinary unity plans that will feature alternative forms of assessment appropriate for the non-traditional, learner-centered classroom, as well as the delivery and integration of science content into classroom activities to support students with diverse needs.
