BIO 459: The Teaching of Secondary Biology

Class Program
Credits 2

Science as a way of knowing will be emphasized to understand how biology seamlessly fits within the liberal arts. This course will familiarize future secondary school teachers with the design, implementation, and evaluation of lectures, demonstrations, and laboratories. The goal is for any major to learn more about the field of biology, how best to build a foundation in biological understanding, and foster a sense of wonder about the natural world in their future students. This course may fulfill one of the elective requirements for the Classical Education minor.
