Science content, process skills, assessment, nature of science...how does a middle school teacher consider all of the elements of science teaching and meet the Massachusetts Frameworks? Using the Backwards Design model, teachers in this course will develop and reinforce effective lesson and unit planning skills, learn about different forms of assessment, create and implement effective assessment tools, and explore how to weave understanding of the nature of science into units. In addition, we will explore Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences and think about how these ideas might impact how you approach teaching middle school science.
