EDU 370 - Social Studies in the Elementary School
Prerequisites: All advanced methods courses
This final course in Curriculum Level II is designed to be a culmination of all prior education coursework. Participants explore theoretical principles and procedures which lead to the instructional practice of social studies in the elementary school. This course also emphasizes the tenets of cooperative learning, the development of content area integrated units, and the use of the Internet in the classroom. In addition, literacy across the curriculum practices are once again reviewed to bring participants to a clear understanding of how literacy is integrated throughout the school day. Current standards for literacy are revisited and National Standards for Social Studies are reviewed. Field experiences include observing a social studies lesson in a local public school and analyzing the lesson using a lesson analyzer template.
