CTSE 1000 INQUIRY APPROACHES TO SCIENCE TEACHING: STEP 1 (1) LEC. 1. LAB. 2. This course allows students to explore teaching as a career. Following an introduction to the theory and practice behind excellent inquiry-based science instruction, candidates teach lessons in elementary classrooms to obtain firsthand experience in planning and implementation. An elementary school placement is chosen to help the AUTeach student connect with youth who are moving into the targeted grade band. Master teachers in AUTeach are instructors and are chosen for their experience and success in secondary classrooms. They provide candidates direct exposure to people who love teaching and view it as a rewarding career choice. Mentor teachers at the schools where candidates teach their prepared lessons demonstrate effective teaching techniques and classroom management skills, giving the future teachers a true taste of working in a supportive, diverse educational setting. The course emphasizes using the 5E Learning Cycle instructional model.

CTSE 2000 INQUIRY APPROACHES TO SCIENCE TEACHING: STEP 2 (1) LEC. 1. LAB. 2. This course allows students to continue developing the lesson planning and teaching skills explored in CTSE 1000 (Step 1).

Middle school science classrooms are selected both for the diversity of the student body and the quality of the classroom teachers, who serve as mentors for the Step 2 students assigned to them. For their final product, Step 2 students analyze and modify one of the lessons they taught, taking into account the results of the assessments, their reflection on how successful the lesson was, and feedback from observers (Mentor Teacher, Instructor, or Teaching Assistant). By the end of Step 2, students are usually able to make a decision about whether to pursue teacher certification through the AUTeach program. In addition to the unique Core Components and Course Objectives listed below, all AUTeach courses are designed in accordance with the AUTeach Course Design Principles. The course emphasizes using the 5E Learning Cycle instructional model.
