First of all, consider taking EDC&I 351, Teaching as a Profession (5)! This class helps students assess the profession of teaching and explore what becoming a teacher means. They will assess the organizational structure of teaching as a career and profession, examine social attitudes about education and the work of teachers, and think about teaching as social justice work.
The college of education also is offering two classes to all juniors and seniors in any major:

EDC&I 495 Culturally Responsive Science Teaching (3)
Culturally responsive teaching is based on the idea that culture is central to student learning. Several cultures intersect with the science classroom, such as the students' and teacher's multiple cultures, the culture of science and the culture of school. This course is relevant for undergraduate and masters students interested in science education and will involve visits to classrooms.
