ED 467 Secondary Methods & Practice: SS/His
This course explores the methodology of teaching social studies in secondary schools including the examination of the standards of the National Council of the Social Studies (NCSS) and state curriculum standards for grades 7-12, as well as current trends in teaching methods and techniques. Participants will prepare unit and lesson plans with related assessment procedures on a variety of topics and acquire teaching experience by presenting lessons and working collaboratively to explore social studies with peers. This course is intended to bridge the gap between theories of education, social studies content area knowledge, and the realities of working in the secondary school environment.
