Ed 455: Science Education for the Twenty-first Century

Dear ENVS Community,

As you register for Spring courses, please consider “Ed 455: Science Education for the Twenty-first Century.” In this course, students will explore the role of science and scientific knowledge in a democratic society. Through readings, discussion, reflective writing and experiences in the field, students will: identify factors that influence who chooses to study science in school and/or pursue a career in science and who does not, explore factors that influence who succeeds in science majors and careers, review a range of models for science teaching designed to meet the needs of a diverse population, and consider the role that an understanding of science plays in the maintenance of a democratic society.

I’m happy to answer any questions you might have.
