Each Fellow is teamed with a JCPS middle grades math or science teacher. Together they develop, plan, and implement inquiry–based lessons using JCPS’s new Content Standards for grades 6 and 7. As the teams do so, each will be supported by a UofL content faculty member and a pedagogy mentor who is either from CEHD or a JCPS curriculum specialist.
