This program within the Department of Teaching and Leadership offers an in-depth examination of scientific principles and their application, subject-specific teaching strategies, culturally responsive teaching approaches, classroom technology integration, and assessment methods aligned with educational standards. We emphasize inquiry-driven science education techniques that foster both hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge essential for continuous learning and meaningful participation in our increasingly science-driven society. The curriculum fulfills the educational prerequisites for obtaining initial and advanced New York State teaching credentials in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, or Physics (grades 7-12).
