EDCI 593-408 Methods of Health Science Instruction
Health Science is a relatively new program in Career and Technical Education and there are no teacher training programs for this discipline. In Montana, we have developed our own health science teacher training program for high school science or health enhancement teachers that have a collegiate background in anatomy and physiology. (Unfortunately this requirement cannot be waived as it is part of the licensure for this endorsement). This is a two- week course to be offered June 17-28, 2013 through Missoula College’s on-line system taught by Mary Nielsen, RN, Health Professions Director, Missoula College. On-line instructions including log-in information is provided once your registration is received and will be facilitated by the Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI). All curriculum materials will be provided free of charge. During this course, teachers will be asked to accomplish a job shadowing experience at a local medical facility to gain an understanding of the healthcare system. The job shadow also introduces teachers to potential guest speakers for their class. I will assist you with contacting your closest facility and making necessary arrangements.
Instructors: Lyle Courtnage, EdD and Mary Nielsen MSN, RN
