About this Unit
The purpose of this unit is for students to develop knowledge of science teaching for primary aged children of science with additional needs and diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Students will explore a range of needs, including gender issues with science learning, EAL/D backgrounds, learning difficulties, and gifted and talented abilities, and identify strategies to respond to those needs with specific instructional plans. In addition, students will learn to implement culturally relevant and context-based pedagogies in primary science education.
