As you return from the July 4th holiday, Ann Bykerk-Kauffman and
myself would like to encourage submissions to our session (T178) on
teaching earth science content to preservice elementary teachers. The
session info and abstract are listed below. We envision this session as
a forum for discussing the different strategies that we use in our
courses as well as barriers or frustrations that we have encountered.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Content courses specifically designed for pre-service elementary
teachers often present unique challenges for instructors. This
session includes effective course designs, lessons, methodologies,
and research findings on factors that improve student learning
within this context.
