DESIGNS FOR LEARNING: SECONDARY SOCIAL STUDIES
?
CO1.00
This course explores many techniques for promoting and assessing the goals of social studies
with secondary students. The course stresses the importance of building a coherent design or
vision to guide a social studies program and it emphasizes active student learning - helping
each student make sense of his or her social world - as opposed to teacher delivery of a
prescribed mass of content. The course addresses developing a coherent learner-focused social
studies program, examines strategies for successful teaching, and discusses how to implement a
successful social studies program.
