Professor SuJin Choi's GTCH 3103 is a Project Based Learning community engaged class where  students craft mathematics and science lesson plans for implementation in Washington DC schools. These lesson plans and their creation are informed by the students’ observations and assistance in middle and high school classrooms, and what they have learned in the GW Teach classroom. As future educators, students gain in-classroom teaching experience throughout the semester, as they implement their lesson plans. Students in Professor Choi’s GTCH 3103 Project-Based Learning, designed full units of connected lesson plans for STEM courses in Washington DC public schools. Students served at 6 different high schools in the District. At these schools, students assisted in and taught various different STEM subjects, including environmental science, algebra, physics, and Biology.

In order to gain teaching experience, students in Professor Keo’s class first observe the workings of a middle school classroom, then take those observations and apply them to the creation of a lesson plan. These lesson plans are then utilized in the classroom, with GTCH 2003 students engaging in instruction using the plans and procedures informed by their observations.
