You\u2019ll also learn how to lead your classroom by establishing a classroom culture that uses research-based practices to build strong relationships with your students. Students in the program complete field-based experiences to complement their coursework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Dates &amp; Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring &amp; Fall 2024 <\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Open<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Dec 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Deadline<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Jan 15, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Deadline to Receive Priority Scholarship Consideration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 1, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Closes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-background-color has-background person-spotlight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Featured Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Faculty for the EdM in Science Education represent broad experiences in science education.
