Health Literacy Initiative (B-EDS355)

Summary: Students will review current literature on effective teaching methods for health literacy with a focus on both general strategies and approaches tailored specifically for Indigenous youth. This research will inform the development of lesson plans that are aligned with health-related learning outcomes from the Ontario curriculum across multiple grade levels. 

Science Lesson Development (A2-EDS355)

Students will develop lessons for middle school grades (7/8) that are not covered within the Pueblo Science curriculum. The style/structure of the lessons will be consistent with the new Grade 4/5 lesson plans. Collaboration: Students will meet HMB490 students as needed to learn about the design process for the lessons, and meet with Pueblo Science staff periodically to ensure the lessons are aligned with organizational priorities.

Audit and Optimization of Science Lessons (A1-EDS355)

Students will optimize lesson plans to promote engagement, accessibility, and positive learning outcomes. They will review current literature on effective teaching methods for STEM and online education, as well as research on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Using evidence-based strategies, students will analyze existing lesson plans and provide practical suggestions to enhance their pedagogical effectiveness, age-appropriateness, and inclusivity. Collaboration: Students will meet HMB490 students as needed to learn about the design process for the lessons, and meet with Pueblo Science staff periodically to ensure the report is aligned with organizational priorities.

Pueblo Science Health Literacy Initiative (B-HMB490Y)

Students will develop an evidence-based and culturally relevant vaccine and health literacy curriculum tailored for Indigenous communities. They will collaborate with Indigenous health experts, teachers, and community members. By addressing specific health challenges and cultural contexts, the aim is to enhance understanding, accessibility, and trust in healthcare information.

Pueblo Science Curriculum Refresh (A-HMB490Y)

Students will design lesson plans aligned with elementary school science curricula, emphasizing key competencies and integrating hands-on learning for online delivery by Pueblo Science. The lessons will undergo iterative development, incorporating critical feedback focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and pedagogical effectiveness.

This is where the main project goal from the employer is shown. They should explain background information on their organization relevant to the project, and cover what they hope to have students work on here.
