This 60-hour field experience provides opportunities to develop teacher candidates’ professional and pedagogical skills in a science classroom. In coordination with the classroom teacher, teacher candidates design and implement science content lessons, prepare for and supervise laboratory investigations, and adjust science instruction for students with diverse needs. Course assignments and evaluations are designed to help teacher candidates become reflective practitioners. Field placements will be arranged by MSCD faculty in collaboration with local schools.
