ED 451 Secondary Curriculum: Biology
Explores National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and state curriculum standards for grades 7-12. Philosophical, psychological, and practical implementation of biology curriculum in the secondary classroom is emphasized. Candidates develop subject-specific curricula appropriate to secondary biology. Students will also examine and discuss a number of current curriculum issues that impact the secondary school. The content of this course will focus primarily on putting theory into practice. To that end, this course will emphasize the practical aspects of how a school district writes curriculum with an emphasis on both process and product. This course is offered at the Griswold Campus as a hybrid course with a combination of face-to-face and online classes.
