EDUC 111 - Life Sciences for Teachers


This interdisciplinary course is a deep dive into the concepts and phenomena built into the Massachusetts K-12 environmental and life science frameworks. By the end of this course you will know what K-12 students need to learn, how they will need to express that learning, and how to tap into students’ natural curiosity and playfulness to develop effective and engaging lessons. In other words, you’ll learn how to use fun as a teaching tool. Priority for this course is given to education majors, but it is open to anyone.Elementary/Early-Childhood Education majors are strongly advised to take this course in addition to EDUC 110 (the courses can be taken in any order).
