| Start Date: 09/04/2019 End Date: 12/17/2019 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2019 |
| Description: Students will learn about inquiry-based science/math curriculum and use of technology in PreK-6 classrooms. They will construct more extensive understandings of science/math instruction by developing lessons that implement the Massachusetts Frameworks incorporating the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Emphasis will be on learning diverse management and instructional practices, such as the use of manipulatives, problem solving, cooperative learning, and project-based learning. Students will also become more adept at developing effective approaches to using assessment to guide instruction. All participants will have opportunities to connect theory and practice. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: You can get used copies of the Burns book online for about a third of the price of a new book. I find this book a valuable resources and use activities from it in my classroom. You can also get e-copies and rent the text for less. You can also rent the science text from Amazon for less. You might want to consider the Kindle edition of these books. I would order them from Amazon or another online dealer. Do not get the 8th edition of the science text. It will not match up with the one I have, unfortunately.... |
