SSI 344 - Instructional Methods for Teaching Secondary Social Science II (2)

Prerequisite: SSI 343 .

This is the second social studies methods course and will focus specifically on the importance of ninth grade as it relates to academic success in high school and eventual graduation. As such, it will examine what issues complicate the ninth grade year for many students and how best to help each grow academically while being conscious of their personal development. Particular focus will be made toward merging the content for ninth grade civics, and geography with key academic, social and personal development skills. Students will develop teaching materials reflective of these intersections.
