Candidates will create lesson plans that integrate math, science and technology, and the inquiry processes scientists use in discovery of new knowledge to build a base for scientific and technological literacy, including the role of data and analysis. Instructional approaches and assessment tools will be demonstrated and applied in field experiences. Candidates will complete a course related research project. Fieldwork is required.
