BI/ CH/ PHY 470 - Secondary Science Methods
This course is required for all secondary Science Education majors. Typically completed by 3rd- or 4th-year Education students, the field experience provides students with the opportunity to plan Science lessons, then implement those lessons under the guidance of experienced teachers. As upper-level students in the Wartburg Teacher Education Program, it is expected that students demonstrate aptitude and ability during their placement. Any time supervising teachers indicate a “1,” faculty will address this concern with the student. Any “1’s” on the final evaluation may result in the student receiving a 'Notice of Concern' in their permanent file and potentially failing the field experience portion of the course.
