Scientific/Math Inquiry Project

Authentic math/science instruction engages students in inquiries which generate questions, establish appropriate methods for researching those questions, collect and analyze data to address the questions and report the results in appropriate ways. Inquiry projects such as these can be found in the science fair or in whole class projects which engage students in investigating and improving their local environment. You will engage in an out-of-class, mathematical or scientific inquiry.

Multicultural Math/Science Lesson & Reflection (Multi cultural M/S Lesson)

Develop a multicultural mathematics lesson that brings together the teaching of mathematics or science through a cultural context. The lesson will be aligned with recent theories of learning and will demonstrate ways of addressing diverse student needs for learning the intended mathematics and/or science content and processes.

Semantic Mapping and Concept of Definition Map Lesson Plan to Assess and Scaffold Student’s Vocabulary. Purpose: The purpose of Lesson Plan 3 and Reflection is to create a Semantic Mapping and Concept of Definition lesson plan to assess, scaffold, and increase student(s)’ vocabulary and conceptual growth in accordance with their cognitive, social, linguistic, cultural, emotional, and physical needs.

Process: Using the results of Lesson 1 and 2, identify student’s morphological and semantic vocabulary skills taking into consideration their cognitive, social, linguistic, cultural, emotional, and physical needs. Create a lesson plan that will scaffold student(s)’ needs using a different text about the same topic from Lesson 1 and 2. Conduct the lesson. Write a reflection.

1. Lesson Plan 3 2. Rubric 3. Reflection (4 parts)

a. What did you learn about writing a content lesson plan which included identifying and scaffolding students’ vocabulary skills? b. What did you learn about examining and assessing students’ vocabulary

skills in a content area lesson? c. How does what you learned impact the decisions you make regarding

your students’ learning needs in accordance with their cognitive, social, linguistic, cultural, emotional, and physical needs? (Think about FEAPs.)

d. How does learning about vocabulary in texts that will be read in content area lessons help inform you as a reading professional?

Field Assignment The field assignment in this class will be a case study in which individual students will meet with and tutor an English Language Learners from a field school or from the English Language Institute at FIU. Students will be required to meet with the learner a minimum of six times, plan a course of study for the learner that addresses specific language learning issues as identified by the learner, student and mentor teacher, and work on those issues in ways that correlate with the ESOL methods, theories and techniques taught in this course.

Small Group Progression Plan Journal

The SGPP and its report require you to identify students, plan for their needs, facilitate learning, assess learning, adapt lessons/strategies, and then analyze and draw conclusion about student learning and your role in it. That assignment is the critical task for the Student Teaching course and is assessed there. However, the reflection process is essential to continuous improvement. The SGPP Journal and our discussion of it in the seminar will enable you to make thoughtful and informed choices about what student responses and behaviors mean and how you adapt to the needs of your students. It will also provide you with insight into how the students respond to your choices in teaching strategies and materials. These reflections should reference education theory and weekly discussions and/or readings.

Teacher observations/interview of teacher from classroom for which the Unit Project is developed during the SCE 4330 semester

Science journal article reviews incorporated in Unit design, planning, and/or other elements of the Unit Project

A minimum of 5 lesson plans

Two of the 5 lessons must be taught, analyzed, assessed, and reflected upon in write-ups. At least one lesson must incorporate instructional technology into the unit (Web-based activity, hand-held data collection probe-ware, hypermedia, software, etc.).

At least 2 authentic assessment instruments that must include 1 rubric.

An end of the unit test for the unit that incorporates a mixture of traditional assessment type items (i.e. multiple choice test items) and non-traditional assessment items (i.e. design problems). Your test should include a minimum of 10 multiple-choice items, 4 true-false items, and at least 2 open-response items. Include an answer/scoring key for this unit summative assessment. Detailed scoring criteria should be included for each open-ended assessment item.
