About David

David McLaughlin serves as Associate Professor of Education and Department Head at Susquehanna University. His teaching centers on the intersection of science, K-12 education, and teacher preparation, where students investigate the nature of science and methods to support children in accessing new scientific content. Classes incorporate hands-on science activities, leveraging facilities such as the Natural Science Building's lab spaces and teaching technology, along with partnerships with local public schools and the community. Small class sizes enable close faculty-student relationships, allowing McLaughlin to guide preservice teachers through laboratory courses, methods classes, and senior student-teaching placements. This journey fosters their growth in knowledge, skills, and confidence as scientists and science teachers within early childhood education programs. McLaughlin values these extended interactions, witnessing student development across diverse learning contexts.
