We present the guiding principles, core components, and objectives of Math 4050, our department's course that connects advanced mathematics courses back to the secondary mathematics curriculum. Math 4050 fulfills the recommendations of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences, complementing the mathematics and pedaogy courses required by future high school teachers. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying student misconceptions about certain mathematical topics, relevant for all math majors either on or off the teacher-certification track.
