Science Partners in K-12 Education
What is the Science Partners in K-12 Education Program?
The Science Partners in K-12 Education Program:
- Supports teachers in addressing science standards
- Supports the teaching of hands-on science activities in the classroom
- Provides college role models for K-12 students
- Allows SFSU science students to revisit and apply their science content knowledge by sharing it with K-12 teachers and their students in the classroom
For SFSU science students, the Science Partners in K-12 Education Program is a cross-listed course that will be offered as Science 652/Biology 652 this fall. Students will learn how to develop biology and physical science lessons and get practice teaching them.
Who are the partnership teams?
Partnership Teams consists of two elementary, middle, or high science teachers from a single school-site, their students, and two science students from SFSU.
Fall 2008 Partnership Teams and Participating Schools
When does this happen?
The semester-long Science Partners in K-12 Education repeats each Fall. Partner teams with two K-12 teachers and two SFSU scientists co-plan & co-teach 6 science lessons together over the course of the semester.
How do I get involved?
If you are interested in participating in the Science Partners in K-12 Education Program, we will be recruiting both K-12 teachers and SFSU science undergraduate and graduate students in mid-Spring 2009 for our Fall 2009 program. Please continue to check back for updated information.
