Future K-8 Science Teachers: CC/Univ. Recommendations DRAFT Recommendations: ¯ Require college-level science courses in Future K-8 Science Teachers: CC/Univ. Recommendations DRAFT Recommendations: ¯ Require college-level science courses in physical, life, and earth and space sciences. ¯ Require 10 qtr credits (5+ lab), 15 recommended. ¯ Courses should target future elementary teachers. ¯ Address knowledge and skills in the endorsement competencies for elementary teachers. ¯ Emphasize inquiry, history and nature of science. ¯ Engage future teachers in hands-on, inquirybased learning.

Interdisciplinary Science: The Student Challenge ¯ Attract future elementary teachers to a new yearlong Interdisciplinary Science: The Student Challenge ¯ Attract future elementary teachers to a new yearlong science course ¯ Integrate biology, chemistry, geology, and physics into an inquiry lab setting ¯ Make it cohesive, cumulative, and interesting ¯ Make it challenging, not intimidating

Interdisciplinary Science: The Student Challenge 1. MYTH: Elementary ed majors won’t take more science Interdisciplinary Science: The Student Challenge 1. MYTH: Elementary ed majors won’t take more science courses than absolutely necessary. 2. REALITY: Almost all of our elementary ed students stick around for two quarters and many are staying for three. 3. We had 55 IDS students on the fall, of which 45 claimed a primary interest in elementary ed. 26 took 102 and 103, some took other lab sciences.

Interdisciplinary Science: The Curriculum Challenge ¯ Inquiry-based and Hands-on: Less than 20% of time Interdisciplinary Science: The Curriculum Challenge ¯ Inquiry-based and Hands-on: Less than 20% of time in lecture Students are often self-guided ¯ Coherent & Cumulative: GRCC uses a “Climate” theme Links to the “real world”

I took IDS because I needed a science credit. When I saw people teaching science the way I wanted someone to teach my kids, the way I wanted to teach, I decided to become a teacher and changed my major. Now I’m thinking of becoming a middle school science teacher. ” Lori Epperson IDS alumna
