Introduction |
The faculty have recently completed a revision of the science education program in both the graduate and STEP programs. These programs lead to New York State certification in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Earth Science Education (7-12). This revision, which has been accompanied by a doubling of the faculty in science education, includes a requirement that all students take a minimum of one graduate science course (e.g., Contemporary Issues in Scientific Inquiry), and the addition of a second pedagogical arts course that is co-taught by master science teachers from the community.
Science education faculty participate in a federal Pathways to Teaching grant which provides tuition remission for students who are willing to teach mathematics or science in under-served communities.
Faculty in science education share a commitment with other departmental faculty to ideals of social justice and equality, as well as to the importance of the arts, and these concerns are interwoven throughout our programs in science education.
