STEM 60510 - Teaching STEM in Diverse Settings

Credits: 3

This course will enable STEM Education candidates to gain a multifaceted understanding of the individual and institutional elements that impact student achievement in STEM. Candidates will investigate the role that gender, SES, race, ethnicity, home language, religion, and other identity-based aspects shape school experiences, learning, and achievement in STEM. Candidates will then learn about specific approaches and instructional practices that they can use in the classroom to promote learning for nonmainstream students, including teaching academic language, differentiating instruction and assessments, and supporting home, community and school partnerships.
