DESIGNS FOR LEARNING: SECONDARY SOCIAL STUDIES

C100

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.
