EDU 155 Social Science and the Arts: Elementary Curriculum
This course is a professional preparation course for the teaching of history-social science and the visual and performing arts in elementary classrooms. Central to the course are the concepts and skills required for the effective planning and teaching of social studies and the arts in relation to the California Content Standards and Frameworks. Credential candidates' study will include recognizing the scope and sequence of curricula, the use of technology and community resources, and understanding the knowledge, skills, and values that can be gained through these disciplines. Candidates use backward design to create an original curriculum unit in which integration between the social sciences and the arts is a primary focus. Varied instructional strategies, multiple means of assessment, and support for all learners including those learning English will be addressed. Prerequisites: EDU 150 and official acceptance in the Elementary Teacher Preparation Program with a passing Basic Skills Requirement or CBEST score. (Often cross-listed with EDU 255)
