This course examines the emergence of the Internet as a commercial business. It pays particular attention to the various business models and practices employed in media-related enterprises, tracing their development from the late 1990s to the most recent strategies and trends. Case studies include the Internet Service Providers (ISPs), portals, search engines, early game platforms, the Internet presence of traditional media organizations, and social network platforms.

Examines the concepts & measurement of risk & resilience from the perspective of developmental psychology. Explores mechanisms & processes to disrupt risk & enhance resilience. Models of risk & resilience are analyzed.

The technique of 'stepping into the shoes of someone else' is at the heart of educational drama. This course focuses on the use of role play as a strategy in the classroom and similar settings, and it explores how teachers may employ this complex convention. It will define those characteristics that are specific to educational role-play and will provide participants with opportunities to practice the techniques and skills required or its successful implementation. The course will focus primarily on the strategy of teach-in-role. Students will be required to complete a written assignment.

Course introduces students to the theory & practice of role theory & role method in drama therapy. Course provides an overview of sociological & theatrical theory as source material for drama therapy role theory and students will study & analyze the Taxonomy of Roles. Students will be introduced to the clinical applications of role method in working with a range of challenging conditions based in mental status, cognition, socioeconomic conditions & life stressors. In addition, students will be exposed to the extant research literature on role theory & method in the field of drama therapy.

A six-week internship in a scientific laboratory that provides students with a personal experience of the scientific enterprise. Each intern works as a research associate with a practicing scientist and prepares a report on his or her experience.

Deals with research and practice regarding leadership of school units, with emphasis on the knowledge and planning required of school leaders focused on the provision of high quality instruction. Emphasis is on the study and design of classroom and school processes that promote equity in educational opportunities across the school community, including design of learning environments, accountability systems, and assessment strategies. The legal and fiscal environments in which school function are introduced.

This course familiarizes students in counseling and related fields with principles and strategies related to designing, implementing, and evaluating school-based preventive interventions (prevention programs). Primary focus on the science behind how prevention efforts can positively impact individuals, families, and social systems to decrease the likelihood of developing psychological, educational, substance use, and other health problems. Also addresses ethical, professional, multicultural, and social justice issues related to prevention programming.

Thematic teaching across the curriculum is modeled in this course in science, health and mathematics. The course will give undergraduate childhood students the opportunity to explore teaching methodologies in each of these content areas with primary focus on the role of science education in the elementary school curriculum. Science education requires teachers not only to know science subject matter but also to understand how to use scientific information to solve real-world problems and build an environment in their classrooms where inquiry, observation and tinkering can take place

Not Available.

Science experiences for elementary school are developed and strategies for implementation and evaluation are devised. Issues such as basic attitutdes toward science, equity in the science classroom, and learning styles will be explored. Students will develop a catalogue of resources, both in print and on-line, for expanding understanding of science content, developing science skills, integrating science into the rest of the curriculum, exploring science activities appropriate for children and assessing science teaching and learning.

This course examines several models for teaching preschool and elementary science. Science experiences for elementary students are developed, and strategies for implementation and evaluation are devised.

In this course students explore the Earth as an integrated, dynamic system involving the material world and diversity of living things which we call biodiversity. Specifically, this course explores the flow of energy and materials through the Earth System and potential human impact on this system. Through the practices of science students learn to use data to produce scientific knowledge for themselves and the public while exploring the question of what it means to engage in citizen science.

Liberal Arts CORE: satisfies the Physical/Life Science requirement for Steinhardt students.

Introducing the notion of citizen science, this course provides students with opportunities to use scientific information to solve real-world problems related to environmental & public health. By exploring the practices of science from observing & measurement to analyzing & explaining data, students learn to use data & produce scientific knowledge for the public.

Liberal Arts Core/MAP Equivalent - satisfies the requirement for Natural Sciences for Steinhardt students.

Students explore how science became a global form of knowledge making about the natural world, how European notions of science contributed to its growth as a form of systematic knowledge, how some people were excluded from this process, and how bias and discrimination were made real. By observing, measuring, analyzing and explaining data, students learn to produce and evaluate the quality of scientific knowledge and to recognize how science understanding helps to interrogate the construction of difference between facts and lies. Fulfills Life Science Core requirement for Steinhardt students.

This course provides students with opportunities to use scientific information to understand concepts related to human health & disease while exploring the question of what it means to engage in citizen science. Students explore causes, controls, & natural defenses against a variety of diseases including infectious diseases & cancers. By studying & conducting the practices of science students learn to use data & produce scientific knowledge for themselves & the public.

Liberal Arts Core/MAP Equivalent - satisfies the requirement for Natural Sciences for Steinhardt students.

This course provides students with opportunities to use scientific information to understand concepts related to the origins of the universe & life within it. Specifically, this course explores theories of change over time. We will study human’s long cultural history of generating explanations & explore how some have projected possible futures. Students produce scientific knowledge for themselves & the public while exploring the question of what it means to engage in citizen science.
