Russell Sage College: Using the TIDeS module in SCI-104: Physical and Earth Sciences part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
Prior to my taking over this course, it was a traditional lecture classroom with a handful of hands-on "lab" activities sprinkled throughout. In this TIDeS course, we really push the limits on what can be accomplished in a traditional classroom in a good way. Students get used to completing mini-labs and activities virtually every day and lecture/class discussion are used just for introduction and wrap-up/synthesis. To me, this course excels at modeling what a physical science course in a K-12 classroom SHOULD look like and that is how I approach it. This is a deliberate choice made because I want my students to become teachers who inspire their future students to love math and science, so rather than focusing on making the course "hard" we make it inspiring (though we do make them work!). Throughout the course, we discuss WHY certain instructional strategies are used (ex: how is this material requiring you to engage with your slow brain?) and emphasize that learning is a process by de-incentivizing the idea that you need to have "right" answer in order to make progress on your understanding. FYI: I had not previously taught this course before developing materials for TIDeS, so I can't comment on how I personally changed before-and-after.
