EDUC 302 Social Studies Strategies In The Elementary School
This course is required of all elementary majors following EDUC 301.

The importance of teaching to different learning styles and multiple intelligences is emphasized along with critical thinking skills and effective teaching practices. Students collaboratively create a thematic decades unit to develop a foundational understanding of teaching the strands of social studies through multiple methods. Diversity Field Experiences include: a required two-day experience at Tate Topa Elementary School on the Spirit Lake Reservation in Fort Totten, ND (fall/spring semesters); Pelican Rapids, MN (fall semester only). Co-requisites: EDUC 319, EDUC 325, and HPER 319; Pre-requisites: EDUC 301 and Admission to Teacher Education. Fall, Spring on campus.
