The capstone experience of the program is a field-based practicum that integrates the course work and standards of practice of STEM education. During the practicum, students will be asked to put into practice a thoughtful and effective vision of STEM education. Through direct supervision by program faculty and participation in a weekly seminar, students will work to pull together their program experiences and apply them to an authentic education context. The practicum will provide students the opportunity to reflect on the direction of their professional career as a STEM educator through portfolio assessment. Prerequisite: Completion of 27 STEM credits. [ 3 credits ]
