EDU 5380 Teaching the United States in the Age of Globalization to Adolescent Diverse Learners
The course involves instruction in teaching, in accordance with the National and New York State Standards in Social Studies, the major movements and events in American history. The United States today is a nation of extraordinary diversity, but also one whose people share a common political system and public culture. In order to make informed judgments about the present and enrich the student’s understanding of America and its place in the world today, it is necessary to grasp a multi-faceted history of United States. This course aligns itself with the New York State Social Studies Frameworks, providing multiple methods for teaching the key topics in United States history, including the study of the major features of the U.S. Constitution and the history of the United States as an industrial nation. Teacher candidates will employ a multidimensional, technology driven approach that aligns content with the current changes in New York State assessment measures. Teacher candidates will develop a research paper in order to strengthen their knowledge of historical subject matter and be required to apply appropriate instructional strategies to teach their researched content.
