Social Studies Content Methods, Grades 9-12

Catalog description

The aim of this course is to build, expand and draw from the social studies methods explored in MSSE 412 . This course gives students the opportunity to continue to consider, analyze and critically examine the details of their teaching career and the purpose of social studies education. Examples of some of the questions examined are: What is "good" teaching? What is the purpose of social studies education? What should students learn? What knowledge is most valuable? How will I meet the needs of diverse students? What are diverse methods of delivering instruction? How does one's belief about the purpose of education shape their pedagogy?
