K-12 FIELD EXPERIENCE & BUILDING STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS: SCED262/562 – 1-3 credits – Tuesday 5:30 – 6:20 PM This course is the ideal way to try out teaching. Assist in a classroom alongside an experienced mentor teacher. Requirements include a total of 25 hours in the classroom and a 50-minute weekly seminar. Repeatable. *Classroom hours are work-study eligible. This course is designed to provide Mines students with opportunities to participate in, analyze, and reflect on issues in a science secondary classroom setting. The overall goal is for Mines students to understand who their K-12 students are and how they learn, including learner development and learner differences. Specifically, the course will focus on developing Mines students’ ability to identify and practice basic classroom management, differentiated instruction, asking probing questions, science content preconceptions, language/activities that promote a growth mindset, and professional language. Furthermore, Mines students will begin exploring the factors that shape school norms and culture. In addition to an on-campus seminar, there is a 25 hour field experience requirement in the assigned partner school.
