Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Elementary Education

Description:

Designed for teacher candidates in the middle level professional core - grades 4-8, participants in this course will examine major content area literacy concepts and theories associated with young adolescent cognitive development, special education, and ELL, including research related to motivation and learning styles applied to content areas, specifically Social Studies. Teacher candidates will also critically examine the role of Social Studies in the middle level curriculum. The concepts and processes drawn from the social science disciplines and humanities will be developed. An analysis of contemporary methods and materials in social studies will enable the teacher candidates to gain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to prepare young adolescent learners of all backgrounds for participation in a democratic society in an interdependent world. Both content areas will be integrated and applied in support of each other during an intensive field experience.
