The developed world is dependent on the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Those who understand the nature of science in the context of its dynamic interface with technology and society are able to participate in informed decision-making when confronted by problems of local, personal and national consequence. Teachers who are confident in their understanding of science in this context are equipped to engage their students in science through problem solving at the intersections of science, technology and society. Students will explore these intersections by focusing on adaptive technologies as a context for study. This course helps the developing teacher gain an understanding of how children learn the STEM disciplines conceptually. It also helps the developing teacher create lessons that build on that understanding of how children learn these subjects.

Building on the foundation for STEM education laid in EDUC 335, this course brings a focus on the differentiated teaching and learning of elementary mathematics. Teachers of elementary mathematics need a special kind of understanding of mathematical content. They not only need to understand the mathematics that they teach, but they also need to understand how various children learn that mathematics. From the time a child first encounters a new mathematical idea to the time that the child is able to make fluent and mature use of that mathematical idea, that child’s growth constitutes a “trajectory” of learning. This course focuses on the special mathematical knowledge that teachers need in order to facilitate all children’s learning trajectories in the various areas of mathematics. The central mathematical concepts articulated in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics form the basis for this course.
