EDUC 591H - Workshop: Social Studies in Action: A Methodology Workshop

This video workshop provides a methodology framework for teaching social studies, with a focus on creating effective citizens.

The eight video programs feature K-5 teachers exploring social studies themes, theories of learning, teaching strategies, and ways to connect social studies to the world beyond the classroom. Led by social studies educator Mary A. McFarland, the onscreen participants reflect on fundamental issues in teaching and learning social studies through discussions, debates, and activities that can be adapted to a K-5 curriculum.

With the companion website and guide, this video workshop provides a stimulating learning experience for individual teachers or professional development groups.
