ED 308B Lab Social Studies Literacies (6 to 10 years)


(1 credit)

This field-based course is required in conjunction with the undergraduate course ED308B. which provides a foundation in content and methodology for the teaching of social studies and early literacy in early childhood education (First through 4th grade).  For this course, students will be placed in a neighborhood primary grade school and work towards meeting course-based and field-based competencies as they apply their theoretical understanding and best teaching practices in teaching social studies and literacy to young children.  Through intentional participatory observations in working with children and a classroom teacher, planning and implementing lessons, and reflecting on the experiences, students will come to further enhance their craft of teaching young children.  In addition, students will be required to attend a virtual (but synchronous) field seminar to further support their learning in their fieldwork.  This virtual seminar will use The Early Childhood Professional Learning Community Model, which provides a collaborative environment to extend and enhance the discussion of important issues with students regarding teaching, learning, and assessing.
