What this course is all about?
The current focus on core academics such as mathematics and ELA often causes “secondary” subjects, such as Social Studies, to be relegated to less instructional time and materials within the school day. In this course, participants will learn to thread social studies subjects and concepts throughout the school day and across disciplines so that students gain critical exposure to and reflection upon the people in the world around them. Subjects covered include: teaching Social Studies across the curriculum, teacher collaboration, engaging students, and learning beyond assessments.
