Course Description:

These courses are part of a community outreach program that is intended to encourage local public middle school students towards higher education. The program goal is to host a series of single day sessions of Saturday School at UCSC. Undergraduate students enrolled in Crown 146 will develop discipline-specific activity-based learning modules for implementation in the Saturday School. Each module will be theme driven and consist of three lessons. Each will be presented to the class and refined as the course progresses. Students will be evaluated on class participation and discussion and quality of their own lesson design and presentation. Successful modules will be considered for the Saturday School curriculum. Students with a strong desire to teach in a specific discipline are especially encouraged to enroll in this course.

In Crown 147 (spring quarter) students will continue to develop and then teach their modules to local public middle school students.

This is a community service outreach collaboration with the Educational Partnership Program at UCSC.
