UTCH 150 Step 2: Inquiry-Based Lesson Design
(1-0-1) In Step 2, students who want to explore teaching careers become familiar with the middle school setting by observing and discussing the middle school environment, and by teaching lessons to middle school students. Step 2 students build upon and practice inquiry-based lesson design and questioning skills that were developed in Step 1. The focus shifts to middle school (rather than elementary school) curricula and students. Step 2 students will experience teaching with technology. Step 2 students, generally team-teaching with a partner, are assigned to either a mathematics or science Mentor Teacher in a local middle school to observe and teach inquiry-based lessons. Field experiences are integral to this course.
