SMATE faculty will revise science methods courses to produce teachers
well-prepared in content and content-specific pedagogy
The NCOSP is investigating the benefit of targeted service learning opportunities
to provide preservice teachers early field experiences. Funds are allocated to
support undergraduate students to establish and support science clubs
in elementary and middle schools of select partner districts.
These clubs engage a broad range of students in performance-based
assessments tied closely to the curriculum in use and the content of the state
assessment. Coordinated science tutoring experiences at all grade levels during
before or after-school hours, targeted to those at risk of not passing the state
assessment, will also be offered.
