EDU 635 - Nebraska Heritage Studies (3)

Provides classroom teachers with information and resources to develop curricula integrating local and state history into the K-12 classroom. Participants in this course explore the issues surrounding territorial and early state settlement, social life, leisure activities, residential architecture, and historical preservation.

Students learn to integrate these topics into broader social studies units, as well as how to develop specific classes in Nebraska history.
