As part of a reform movement in science, the National Science Standards (NRC, 1996) recommend that science is taught to achieve students’ scientific understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. Reform classroom practices should give students the opportunity to engage in hands-on, minds-on scientific inquiry and to experience how scientists develop conjectures about the world in justifying assertions and a base from which to reason and model data they encounter in real life. The Graduate Leading Teacher Program in Secondary Science will provide you with opportunities to develop the knowledge and teaching practices essential in educating science students for the 21st century.
