Students use their science content area expertise to strategically design units of learning that align with local, state, and national science standards. The units that students build will consider environmental science as a tool for social justice and leverage UDL and CRT frameworks to provide engaging learning opportunities for all. Students build their capacities to implement classroom and laboratory management strategies through exploring research, dialogue, and experiential learning. Students explore various ways that educational technologies can enhance student engagement and learning in science classrooms. Students maintain an emphasis on continual reflective practices as a primary mechanism to support ongoing professional growth. Additional experiences that promote professional growth are explored and engaged in, including professional learning communities (PLCs), community engagement, and professional development opportunities for science educators. Students learn how leveraging various forms of assessments of student learning can equitably measure student learning outcomes in science classrooms and can inform future instructional decisions.
