Social Studies for Social Justice (2) In this course, participants design a thematic social studies unit that is based on community learning. The units are grounded in facilitating inquiry-based learning experiences that support students in becoming agents of change in their community through historical, cultural, political, and geographical exploration. Specific attention is given to supporting students in developing relevant content knowledge through multimodal texts and the use of disciplinary literacy practices. Participants utilize the information from their community, curricular knowledge, and their understanding of previous literacy coursework to design a unit that supports students being change-makers within their community. Grading: A-F only. Restriction: Teaching (MAT) [City Teaching Alliance].
