PREREQUISITE

Educ 401/402

DESCRIPTION

This methods course is for secondary social studies teachers. The orientation is less a matter of

'listen and learn' and more a matter of 'confer and produce'. You will be working with the

instructor and a small group of students to develop a comprehensive unit package (a set of lesson

plans and supporting materials) for the teaching of social studies at a chosen grade level. Disk copies

will be shared with other members of the class.

OBJECTIVE

To enhance teachers' ability to plan and make use of a wide variety of teaching strategies, learning

resources and assessment practices to deliver a social studies program that is engaging for students,

effectively integrates other subject areas and infuses critical thinking throughout.
