EDUC 5280 - STEM for Teaching K-6 Technology and Engineering

3 Credit(s) | See Department Fee

This course, designed for K-6 teachers, will focus on STEM integration through the lens of engineering and technology. Participants will identify and distinguish STEM models as they examine, engage in, and implement engineering design and the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) through the use of effective technological tools. Participants will also apply pedagogical practices that help K-6 students develop the disciplinary literacy needed to authentically communicate in engineering and help students develop the skills needed to integrate the engineering design process with other disciplines. Additionally, participants will model practices to build their capacity to create effective student-centered learning environments and instruction. An emphasis will be placed on authentic connections with science and mathematics. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)]
