SMT 1043: Inquiry Approaches to Teaching (Fall and Spring)
SMT 1043, Inquiry Approaches to Teaching, invites students to explore teaching as a career at no cost. In the course, students teach science or math lessons in elementary classrooms to obtain firsthand experience with planning and implementing inquiry-based curriculum. Students, working alone or in pairs, teach two hands-on science or mathematics lessons (chosen from National Science Foundation–developed modules) in a local elementary school.
