Synopsis

Teaching Emerging Scientists: Professional Development Guide to Teaching K-2 Science by Pamela Fraser-Abder provides science content and process, curriculum, instruction, and pedagogy as well as a venue for reflective thought, deliberate action, and experimentation. It assists teachers in developing, implementing, and evaluating their science teaching and their students’ science learning. As teachers complete the reflections in this book, they will explore the what, why, and how they teach; their deep-seated, often unconscious feelings toward science teaching and learning; and their views on who has ownership of science through their science autobiography and other reflection opportunities. With the information and tools in this book, readers will evolve into outstanding, confident teachers of emerging scientists.

Teaching Emerging Scientists
Fostering Scientific Inquiry with Diverse Learners in Grades K-2 

 

Teaching Emerging Scientists is a call to action to teachers to guide their students on a journey to scientific literacy, while fostering their interest and participation in science.  Written for educators working with kindergarten through second grade, this practical, yet research-based book assists teachers in developing, implementing, and reflecting on inquiry-based science teaching and improving ALL young children's science learning.  As teachers complete the reflections in this book, they will explore how to nurture young children's natural curiosity in science; their own deep-seated, often unconscious feelings toward science teaching and learning; and strategies, resources, and ideas for making the most of the students' surrounding community to support engagement in science.  To learn more about other books in the Teaching Scientists series see inside front cover.
