Educational Theory and Practice in Teaching Social Studies II

This course provides opportunities for social studies MAT students to meet the Rhode Island Professional Teacher Standards (RIPTS) and the National Council of the Social Studies Preservice teacher standards. In this particular semester, the objectives are to be able to develop standards-based lesson plans and activities for your students that are culturally responsive in social studies based on your knowledge of students and how they learn; use an evaluation framework to distinguish curriculum quality; and successfully revise curriculum as necessary in order to align with the RI GSEs and meet the needs of your students in a culturally responsive way.
