IV. Course Description
Catalog Description
This course provides an overview of current practices in curriculum and instruction in middle and
secondary schools with emphasis on using mathematics-specific technology and varied instruction for
teaching grades 6-12 Mathematics content. This course draws on current research-based instructional
practices to integrate STEM education through project-based learning activities implemented in the grades
6-12 classrooms. Candidates engage in a series of open-ended, hands-on activities related to a thematic
topic that addresses important concepts related to STEM disciplines. These activities sharpen and
enhance candidates’ instructional practices by focusing on real-world authentic activities, reflecting on the
problem-solving process, and collaborating with peers to teach students more effectively. No prerequisites.
Course Rationale: Current standards for mathematics education, the Common Core State Standards
(CCSS) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards, support efforts to
make connections across the disciplines. This requires candidates to use mathematics in applied contexts
and identify practices in mathematics that can link to other STEM disciplines. This course is designed to
enhance the mathematics content and pedagogical content knowledge of pre-service teachers and
practicing teachers seeking certification in middle or secondary mathematics. This course offers an
integrated curriculum that enhances teachers’ understanding of mathematical concepts and pedagogical
strategies covered in grades 6-12, additionally supporting their development and implementation of
authentic problem-based projects in the classroom while addressing the existing shortage of mathematics
teachers. This course aligns with the National, state, and local standards.

This assignment provides the opportunity for candidates to explore two major concepts in current
mathematics practices: STEM and Project-Based Learning (PBL).
Candidates will research the development of each concept, their benefits, and ways to integrate both
approaches in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Candidates will use a nine-step model to design a PBL
experience (see template). They will engage in collaborative research activities to select suitable/authentic
problems/situations addressing different concepts and skills from STEM disciplines as they
provide opportunities for learners to work through meaningful projects to cultivate critical thinking and
problem-solving skills.
Candidates will:

XIV. University Policies
A. Academic Misconduct
The University, as a community of scholars, embraces the free expression of ideas in furthering the
acquisition of knowledge, while upholding the principles of trust, responsibility, honor, integrity, and ethical
Generated: 5/6/2021
Page 18 of 38
behavior in meeting program and degree requirements. As such, students are expected to adhere to a
standard of academic honesty in all work submitted. Violations of academic honesty standards constitute
academic misconduct, and violate the NSU Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility,
available online
The following acts violate the academic honesty standards and will result in a finding of academic
misconduct:
1. Cheating in any form: intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or
study aids in any academic exercise, or having others complete work or exams and representing it as one’s
own.
2. Fabrication: intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an
academic exercise.
3. Facilitating academic dishonesty: intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to
violate any provision of this code.
4. Plagiarism: the adoption or reproduction of ideas, words, or statements of another person as one’s own
without proper acknowledgment (see Academic Honesty Standards).
5. Conspiracy to commit academic dishonesty: assisting others to commit acts of academic
misconduct
6. Misrepresentation: intentionally making false statements or omissions of facts in a contract. Examples
include, but are not limited to portfolios, cover sheets, and clinic, training station, and practicum
agreements.
7. Bribery: offering of goods, services, property, or money in an attempt to gain an academic advantage.
8. Forging or altering documents or credentials: examples include, but are not limited to signatures,
dates, and other information on portfolios, cover sheets, and clinic, training station, and practicum
agreements.
9. Knowingly furnishing false information to the institution.
Penalties for academic misconduct can range from reduced grades on assignments or in courses, to failing
grades on assignments or in courses, as determined by the course professor. Academic misconduct may
also result in dismissal from the Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice
without the possibility of re-enrolling at any time. Students may not withdraw from a course in progress to
avoid a failing grade upon receiving notice that academic misconduct may have occurred.
Note: If a charge of academic misconduct is determined in a course, any student-initiated
withdrawal for that course will be administratively reversed and a grade of F will be entered on
the student’s transcript for that course.
B. Plagiarism
Work that is submitted for credit must be the original work of the student. Any assignment that is not the
original work of the student is considered plagiarized and in violation of the Code of Student Conduct and
Academic Responsibility. Plagiarism occurs when another person’s work, words, or ideas are represented
as one’s own without the use of a school-recognized method of citation (e.g., copied from another source
such as an author or another student without properly acknowledging the actual writer/author) or when
another person’s work is copied or otherwise duplicated for academic credit. Plagiarism also occurs when
knowingly giving or allowing one’s own work to be copied or otherwise duplicated by another for academic
credit, or when resubmitting one’s own work for academic credit (i.e., work that has previously been
submitted for academic credit). Cutting and pasting from online sources on the Internet without proper
acknowledgment and citation of primary and secondary sources (e.g., writers/authors/organizations) also
constitutes plagiarism.
Penalties for plagiarism may range from reduced grades on assignments or in courses, to failing grades on
assignments or in courses, as determined by the course professor. A subsequent determination of
plagiarism in a future course (i.e., a second violation) may result in dismissal from the Abraham S. Fischler
College of Education and School of Criminal Justice without the possibility of re-enrolling at any time.
Course assignments submitted in partial fulfillment of degree requirements may be checked for plagiarism.
Students may not withdraw from a course in progress to avoid a failing grade or other consequence
upon receiving notice that plagiarism may have occurred. If a charge of plagiarism is determined in a
course, any student-initiated course withdrawal for that course will be administratively reversed and a
grade of F will be entered on the student’s transcript for that course [see Academic Misconduct]. Student

access to online courses, and attendance at site-based courses, will be discontinued following a
determination of plagiarism that results in an “F” for the course. All students are entitled to due
process pursuant to Fischler College of Education policies and procedures.
C. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Nova Southeastern University complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. No qualified individual with a disability shall be excluded
from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination in any activity, service, or
program of the university solely by reason of his or her disability. Each qualified individual with a disability
who meets the academic and technical standards required to enroll in and participate in Nova Southeastern
University’s programs shall be provided with equal access to educational programs in the most integrated
setting appropriate to that person’s needs through reasonable accommodation.
At the postsecondary level, it is the student’s responsibility to initiate the process for disability services. The
process for obtaining a reasonable accommodation is an interactive one that begins with the student’s
disclosure of disability and a request for a reasonable accommodation. The student has the responsibility to
provide Nova Southeastern University with proper documentation of a disability from a qualified physician
or clinician who diagnoses disabilities and sets forth the recommended accommodations.
The necessary forms and procedures for requesting disability-related accommodations can be obtained
from the NSU Office of Student Disability Services through its website at
via e-mail at disabilityservices@nova.edu, or by calling
954-262-7185 (toll-free at 800-986-3223, ext. 27185).
To ensure that reasonable accommodations can be provided in a timely manner, all forms and
documentation should be submitted to the NSU Office of Student Disability Services a minimum of four
(4) weeks prior to the commencement of classes for any given semester.
D. Course/Instructor Evaluation
It is expected that all students will participate in the online Course/Instructor Evaluation at or near
the end of the course.
Notices of Course/Instructor Evaluation access are sent to registered students by NSU email.
E. The current edition of the FCE&SCJ Catalog and Student Handbook is available
This document provides
extensive information on University and FCE policies, regulations, and procedures.
NSU Class Recording Policy:
Class content throughout this course may be recorded in accordance with the NSU Class Recording
Policy. If class content is recorded, these recordings will be made available to students registered for this
course as a supplement to the classroom experience. Recordings will be made available to all students who
were registered to attend the live offering of the class, regardless of a student’s section or discipline, or
whether the student is participating in the course online. If recordings are intended to be accessible to
students or third parties who were not registered for the live offering of the class, students’ personally
identifiable information will be removed or redacted from the recording, unless (1) their written consent to
such disclosure was previously provided, or (2) the disclosure is permissible in accordance with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”).
Students are prohibited from recording audio or video, or taking photographs in classrooms (including online
classes) without prior permission from the instructor or pursuant to an approved disability accommodation,
and from reproducing, sharing, or disseminating classroom recordings to individuals outside of this course.
Students found engaging in such conduct will be in breach of the Student Code of Conduct and subject to
disciplinary action.
