Teacher Education - Projects and Rubrics
Science Autobiography - Designed so that elementary education majors examine their attitudes concerning the science education they have received. Often preservice teachers come to science methods with a range of feelings about science as a subject and the teaching of science. This assignment allows them to consider science more broadly from their first memories through to any college courses they have completed.
Here is an article I wrote about this assignment for the Associated Colleges of Illinois's Journal clemente-science-article aci.pdf
Topic Strand - This project is completed in three iterations over the term. Each section has its own requirements and rubric. It is designed to stretch preservice teachers' planning abilities beyond one lesson plan to experience planning for three consecutive days or linked learning experience.

Topic: Teaching in and Learning from Underserved Communities: Engaging Assumptions, Values, and Beliefs - This team-taught course explores the connections among areas of study, research, and practice from at least two perspectives. It offers an introduction to the integrative and interdisciplinary components of general education, preparing you to enter a world in which communication across specializations and the ability to place subjects in multiple contexts play an increasingly significant role.
Inquiry Project - Students develop their own project related to the course. They also determine what the final project will be as well as the expected grade they hope to recieve. It is completed in different stages so students do not rush at the end of the term. First-Year-Inquiry-Project.pdf
