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.
