Abstract

The theory of Pragmatism naturally gives way to the concept of integrated and hands-on teaching methodologies. Teacher training programs grounded in the liberal arts are prime spaces for pre-service elementary teachers to learn about curricular integration. Pedagogy surrounding the integration of science and English language arts is particularly pertinent for today's classrooms. This chapter provides a description of how an elementary education science methods course was revised to include teaching methods for instructing teacher licensure candidates to teach their future students using an integrated and hands-on approach. Instructor lecture outlines and lab packets which include interactive class activities, instructions for teaching essential Science content, instructions for utilizing effective English Language Arts strategies for facilitating student comprehension and concept development, and inclusion of high-quality texts from the Common Core Exemplary Text list are provided.
