| 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: Feel free to rent or buy these books. I find I use all three as resources, but you will be able to judge best for your needs. We will read and refer to Building Thining Classrooms throughout the course. It has excellent resources, but all of these can be found online at the auhtor's website. |
