The course develops students' abilities to help elementary children acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for scientific literacy in a learning environment that is healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging for all children. Emphasis is placed on using inquiry processes to acquire conceptual understanding of science and its relevance to real life while promoting positive development and growth of children. The course includes the planning of elementary school science curriculum and the use of pedagogy consistent with the nature of science and sensitive to the needs of diverse learners. Course content is based on national and state standards for curriculum and teaching. Curriculum coherence will be emphasized through the mapping of science concepts and skills across the elementary grades and the introduction of ideas for science-based interdisciplinary, thematic instruction. Prerequisites: CIEE 229 and 8 general education science credits; co-requisites: CIEE 301, CIEE 322, CIEE 329, CIEE 323 2 credits

5.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to develop pre-service teachers' competence in planning, conducting, and assessing mathematics learning experiences with children from kindergarten through fifth grade. The course makes extensive use of direct observation and video lab experiences of diverse children, in addition to relevant readings, to enable teachers to interpret children's mathematical behavior in meaningful ways. It considers mathematical thinking as part of a developmental process and explores the origins of elementary students' mathematical ideas in preschool and natural as well as formal school settings. The content of the course follows the recommendations for mathematics standards in the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Mathematics (NJCCCS, 2004), principles and standards for school mathematics developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2000, NCTM, 2002), and reflects performance expectations for K-5 students on statewide and other standardized assessments. This course is part of the practicum semester package and is coordinated with a field experience in which students apply their learning in a K-5 classroom. Prerequisites: CIEE 229; completion of two, approved, General Education mathematics courses; co-requisites: CIEE 301, CIEE 322, CIEE 323, CIEE 326 2 credits

5.00 Credits
This course is designed for pre-service teachers who are planning to teach students in grades 5-8. The course helps prospective teachers construct a theoretical knowledge base and a practical conceptual understanding of content area reading and writing instruction. Specifically, students will learn different teaching and learning strategies in the grade 5-8 content areas and will select, plan, and design materials for content area instruction. Prerequisite or co-requisite: CIEE 229 2 credits
-
8.00 Credits
This course is a required course for students seeking K-5 certification with a 5-8 endorsement in English. It gives prospective middle school English teachers a theoretical knowledge base and conceptual understanding of language arts literacy. Students will learn different teaching and learning strategies in analysis of literature, content area text, and other genres, and will select plan and design materials for language arts instruction. Prerequisite: CIEE 229; pre- or co-requisite: CIEE 322 and appropriate field experience 2 credits
-
8.00 Credits
This course examines methods and materials for teaching grade 5-8 social studies. Social studies is defined as an interdisciplinary field that includes history, geography, sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, and economics, and which examines social problems over time and in different times and places. Social studies is presented as a means of understanding the diversity and unity of peoples and their societies worldwide. The course emphasizes methods of teaching democratic and multicultural values, cooperative interaction, and personal social responsibility. The course also explores interdisciplinary connections between social studies and other elementary school subjects such as math, science, language arts, and fine arts. Prerequisites: CIEE 229; pre- or co-requisite: CIEE 322 and appropriate field experience 2 credits

8.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to prepare beginning teachers as specialists in the learning and assessment of mathematics at the middle school level (grades 5-8). The course extends students' professional knowledge for teaching and assessing mathematics learned in CIEE 322 for grades K-5 and emphasizes the appreciation of mathematics from the point of view of the cognitive and social changes that occur in early adolescence. Consistent with the principles, standards, and pedagogical techniques in the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Mathematics (NJDOE, 2004) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000), students explore learning in algebra and geometry that go beyond concerns with number. The course places special emphasis on issues of equity, working with diverse student populations, the importance of peer relations in middle school learning, inquiry-based learning, and meeting expectations for standardized state assessments. Prerequisites: CIEE 229; pre-or co-requisite: CIEE 329 and appropriate field experience 2 credits

8.00 Credits
Students will develop their abilities to help learners acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for scientific literacy in grades 5-8. Emphasis is placed on using inquiry processes to acquire conceptual understanding of science and its relevance to real life. The course includes the planning of middle school science curriculum and the use of pedagogy consistent with the nature of science and sensitive to the needs and interests of diverse learners. Course content is based on national and state standards for curriculum and teaching. Curriculum coherence across the grades will be emphasized, with references to elementary skills and content on which the middle school curriculum builds, and references to secondary science skills and content for which the middle school curriculum should prepare learners. Prerequisites: CIEE 229; pre- or co-requisite: CIEE 326 and appropriate field experience 2 credits
-
8.00 Credits
This course is designed to inform pre-service teachers of the current theories and practices of teaching a World Language in grades 5-8. Students will gain in-depth pedagogical knowledge and understanding of language acquisition, literacy development, and assessment in a second language. Specifically, students will apply their theoretical understanding and pedagogical knowledge to classroom situations. They will analyze and critique curricula, engage in inquiry-driven discussions about theory and methodology, and plan innovative instruction. Prerequisite: CIEE 229; co-requisite: appropriate field experience 2 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introductory course in the use of new media and technologies as tools to foster critical and creative thinking in the context of hands-on exploration. Its purpose is to provide teacher candidates with a broad understanding of professional issues related to literacy, technology, and instruction. This course focuses on infusing technology and media literacy skills into the classroom across grades and curricula in consonant with the NJCCCS. The course uses a hands-on approach to enable teacher candidates to have practical applications for their learning and to integrate pedagogy with their respective liberal arts or science subject matter during twenty hours of tutoring. Teacher candidates will explore, investigate, evaluate, and analyze educational software and online resources relevant to the curriculum of their assigned students and develop and implement cooperative, technology-based learning experiences. Teacher candidates will discuss contemporary technology issues, read relevant literature, and use technology appropriately in an interdisciplinary lesson plan. Prerequisite: CIED 203; co-requisite: CISE 295
-
