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

by Pamela Fraser-Abder

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.

[Jennifer Brokofsky · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first few chapters are very good. They address teacher beliefs and what science can look and sound like in a K-2 classroom. The last couple of chapters are specific to curriculum in some areas of the US and were less relevant to me. All in all a good read.
