Description:
This course emphasizes best practice strategies for teaching the social studies subject areas to elementary school children in grades K-6. Candidates will become familiar with current literature and research in the social studies, including history, geography, economics, anthropology, sociology, civics/political science, and current events. The National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) principles, strands, and themes are used to guide experiences in this class as candidates explore the integration of the social studies with other disciplines. Teacher candidates will be placed in a public school classroom, grades 3-6, for 10 hours where they will be required to assist the mentor teacher, teach lessons, and reflect upon the field placement experience and required assignments.
