Current Course Description: In the planning and implementation of strategies and concepts related to language arts and social studies, students will learn and make use of the process, the conceptual approach, problem solving and guided discovery. Integration in planning, use of teaching strategies, and concept attainment between these two areas will also be emphasized. Emphasis will be on active participation and modeling of strategies being taught. |
|
New Course Description: The focus is on the nature of social studies, national and state standards, relevant professional organizations, resources, and opportunities. Students will learn and use different teaching strategies, concept attainment, technology and literacy integration, field methods, and assessment approaches. Models for integration of social studies with other core areas will be explored. Emphasis will be on active participation and modeling of strategies being taught. |
|
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): A year ago, we changed the title of this course from Applied Human Learning: Social Studies and Language Arts to Applied Human Learning: Social Studies ¿ eliminating the language arts connection. However, in this process we did not update the catalog description. In addition, we propose to move this class from a 400-level to the 300-level so students can begin to learn instructional methods earlier and apply them more effectively during their student teaching experiences. |
|
Students/Program affected: All students enrolled in the undergraduate/post-bacc. program who have been admitted to the Education Core. |
