Inquiry Teaching of STEM in Elementary School (1 Credit) Exploration of teaching science or mathematics as a career. Discussions include standards-based lesson design and various teaching strategies. Fieldwork consists of observing, planning and teaching inquiry-based lessons to students in grades three to six in local elementary schools.

Inquiry Teaching of STEM in Middle School, 2 credits. If you are interested in continuing to explore the teaching profession, consider taking TLPL 102. This course extends ideas from TLPL101. Course assignments and fieldwork experiences challenge students to engage deeply with a math or science topic in a cycle authentic to the teaching profession. Assignments include interviewing a student, teaching a lesson, analyzing student work, and conducting a follow-up discussion.
