Preparing Successful Science Teachers at Indiana University Southwest
Abstract
The science education program at Indiana University Southeast (IUS) is successful with the adoption of a constructivist based philosophy and the National Science Education Standards (NSES). Teachers graduating from the science education program of Indiana University Southeast are qualified to be ranked as “highly qualified educators” as defined by the ‘No Child Left Behind’ Act. With the breadth and depth of knowledge and pre-service teaching experience and classroom work, IUS students are better prepared for teaching. Teacher graduates from the IUS science education program report a high degree of professional success after graduation.
