Learning
Scientific paper
Western Washington University is the lead institution of the North Cascades and Olympic Science Partnership (NCOSP), a 5-year NSF MathScience Partnership program designed to improve science teaching K-16. The broad scope of the project entails revising science methods courses, developing new science content courses, and providing professional development opportunities to practicing teachers in the region. In collaboration with science faculty from four partner two-year schools, we have developed and implemented a yearlong science content course sequence that uses the Physics for Elementary Teachers (PET) as the curriculum for the first quarter. The second and third quarter courses, developed in-house, cover topics in geology and biology with the common theme of the flow of matter and energy. The philosophy and format of those courses closely mimics PET. Independent assessments of student learning verify the effectiveness of the approach.
