Students will come to understand the nature of knowing through engagement with western and Indigenous perspectives. This course will interrogate current topics (for example, climate change, water and food security, evolution) and help teacher candidates to develop critical understanding of science and technology in society. Instructors will model instructional strategies for creating a positive learning environment for teaching scientific concepts found in the elementary and middle school curriculum.
