AB-124
This course is designed to help prospective elementary school teachers develop a foundation level
understanding of key scientific crosscutting concepts (or common themes) & disciplinary core ideas, as
well as the science pedagogical content knowledge to creatively use research-informed, best practice
Curriculum resources, Instructional strategies and Assessment techniques. The “lessons learned” will
enable you to explore the wonders of science with children ages 5-12 (grades K-6) as aligned with the
NYSED Elementary (K-4) & Intermediate (5-8) Science Core Curriculum and, the recently released Next
Generation Science Standards (with explicit links to the CCSS-ELA + Mathematics). Emphasis will be placed
on constructivist teaching cycles (5E: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate & Evaluate) built around handson/minds-on science activities the use inexpensive, household type materials (e.g., toys, grocery store
materials & “garbage”) and children’s literature to lead to an understanding of how key science concepts
work in our everyday lives. As such, students will be expected to develop as creative, reflective
practitioners by alternating between the roles of student and teacher by doing, thinking, and
writing/talking about science and science education.

research reports and studies evaluating these policies and reforms and learn more about the ways
quantitative methods such as survey research, experimental studies, program evaluations, and casualcomparative research have been used to judge their impact and success. In addition, we will study
findings from the national and international assessments of education and read recent national
assessments of the standards and accountability movements. Prerequisites: EDUC 620 and 621. Waiver of
