This course, required for students in our elementary education program, is designed to develop candidates' ability to teach social studies in a K–5 classroom. In addition to their planning and pedagogical skills, candidates must demonstrate an exceptional level of knowledge of the disciplinary inquiry and forms of representation, as well as concepts, facts, and tools within and among the social studies disciplines of civics, economics, geography, history, and the social/behavioral sciences. Candidates must also make explicit connections to principles of theory and research to continually improve social studies knowledge, inquiry skills, and civic dispositions. As such, students in this course will contribute to Wikipedia by researching and writing content to fill content gaps relevant to their future teaching of social studies. Whether they choose to write new articles or make improvements to existing entries, this assignment offers the exciting opportunity to improve their digital literacy and practice public writing—and to help their future students do the same!
