LAW IN THE CURRICULUM

C100

This course addresses the importance of law-related education in the K-12 curriculum, how legal

concepts and skills can be incorporated into various subject areas, and how different teaching

strategies can engage students with the law. The focus is on the methodology of teaching law in the

schools. EDUC 448 introduces students to the case study, mock trial, negotiation, mediation, justice

circle, story drama, and other strategies for teaching law to children. It also provides opportunities to

examine curriculum materials and resources, plan lessons, and develop curriculum for the classroom.
