| Abstract: |
We depend on scientists for medical advances, new technology, and improvements to our lives. A lifelong interest in science does not begin in college but in students' early interactions and experiences in the classroom. Many students have no idea what careers are available to them in the sciences beyond the medical professions they may interact with in everyday life. By adding interesting and engaging activities to explore science careers into your curriculum, you can help to broaden your students' horizons and expose them to new career possibilities. In this course you will assess the needs of your students, identify resources on science careers available to your classroom, design tools and an activity to assist your students in comparing science careers, and plan for new ways to integrate career information into your curriculum. |
| Outcomes: |
After completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Perform and analyze a needs assessment of your students.
- Identify the resources available to you, your students, and
in your classroom about science careers.
- Create a template to guide your student's research into science
careers.
- Create an activity to encourage students to use their research
in an active way that encourages higher order thinking.
- Create a plan for ways that you can incorporate your unit into
your curriculum.
