ED 300 - Teaching Social Studies and the Arts, PK-6

Students will explore effective and creative ways to approach interdisciplinary, standards-based curriculum development for educational environments. Literature, digital media, visual art, drama, theory, primary sources, and our own experiences are the texts to bridge our understanding of history with the social, environmental, aesthetic, and civic issues of today. Students will learn to design and teach lessons that integrate various art forms and are grounded in equity pedagogies which enable us to meet the needs of culturally diverse learners in PreK-6 classrooms.
