This syllabus continues to be a work in progress for ERCH 465: Science for the Young Learner. The course is part of the Early Childhood Professional Bloc II. Students take these classes on Mondays and Tuesdays and are in their field placements Wednesdays-Fridays, where they apply the content learned in the courses. Pro Bloc II prepares them for student teaching. Students who take this course are preparing to be certified to teach students in grades K-4. 

This module is designed for pre-service teachers in the undergraduate PreK- 4 Early Childhood Education major. The material in the unit will familiarize the future teacher to develop lesson plans and units in both the direct and indirect teaching models. Wonder Spaces, using the Reggio-inspired philosophy, is introduced to design spaces for learners ages 0 - 5. Classroom management is also included. 

O e-book trás a aprendizagem baseada em problemas como uma metodologia para disseminar o ensino de ciências ambientais através do hackathon.

O autor destaca as vantagens e desafios da metodologia e trás uma abordagem sobre como aplicar um hackathon.

This course was developed to satisfy the California Commission of Teaching credentialing requirements for teacher candidates. The class provides opportunities for candidates to learn how to teach the basic and essential fundamentals of physical education for K-6th grade students. The central knowledge is about children’s motor skill development along with the emotional and social aspects related to physical activity. Teachers will learn the key aspects of a physical education lesson, which include a warm-up activity, the lesson plan (skill development and game applications), and closure. As a total lesson, at least half the time is spent in moderate to vigorous activity.

The course also addresses classroom management techniques, safety and liability, kinesiology, and instructional techniques. It incorporates discussions of multicultural aspects and special needs populations, and concludes with ideas for integrating physical education with academic subjects such as mathematics, language, and natural and social sciences.

This book is intended for use by future teachers, written from the perspective of students who have taken Science Methods II. The student authors gathered and created resources to help prospective elementary cience teachers better understand science and feel confident in your abilities as a future teacher.
This book is divided into five parts which align with the Science Methods II course:

Physics
Space Science
Earth Science
Climate Science
Course Materials and Pedagogy

Within each part, the material is broken down into smaller chapters. Here you will find written explanations, video links, glossary terms, key takeaways, and practice quizzes to help you understand the material. This book is designed to be a flexible resource; use it as much or as little as you need throughout the course.

This material is a collection of modules developed for a specific course, Human Relations in a Multicultural Society. The modules are being updated, so check back occasionally to see the new materials. Experiential learning strategies embedded in the modules may be useful for other groups, too.The modules are designed so learners can practice self-awareness and skills that are essential for living and working in a democratic and socially just society. Content, reflection, experiences, and discussion address issues of oppression and social justice related to race/ethnicity, gender, age, class, religion, disability, physical appearance, sexual orientation and nationality. Learners will come to understand groups that have been historically been excluded from the western power and decision-making. Participants will examine mainstream and alternative viewpoints for values, validity, and outcomes, in order to grow their investigative and critical thinking skills.These modules are based on teaching with Multicultural Education in a Pluralistic Society (11th edition; 2021) by Donna M. Gollnick and Philip C. Chinn available from Pearson Publishing, Hoboken, NJ. Pearson has a test bank, instructor's manual, powerpoint presentations, and many online resources in MyLab.

This resource was created to help students understand that implicit biases are mental shortcuts that all brains do. They happen without awareness and are socially conditioned and unconscious. A person's conscious mind might not truly agree with the implicit bias that they harbor and could unintentionally act upon.It is important to learn about implicit bias to prevent the negative consequences of these biases. To thrive in this world, we all need to know how to work together. Unfortunately, some barriers need to be overcome. Teamwork skills are vital, and a positive, inclusive environment helps greatly in the development of teamwork skills.

This is a resource for improving reading skills or habits. It is suitable for students or individuals that intends to find out steps for improving reading skills.
