SSED-4310 Methods in Secondary Social Studies
This course is designed to introduce students to the processes of planning, implementing, and evaluating secondary Social Studies instruction in line with South Carolina Academic standards and the thematic standards of the National Council for the Social Studies. Students will learn to translate the research about the teaching and learning of history and the Social Sciences into classroom methodologies that address the needs of diverse learning styles and into assessment strategies that gauge student learning and teacher performance. A 30-hour field experience is one component of this course, as well as some review for the PRAXIS II exams.
