Subject:

Description:

This course examines the principles and methods of teaching middle grades learners through integrating subject matter. Drawing from SDPI guidelines for grades 6 - 8 and content from their academic majors, students will demonstrate the ability to plan integrative study units, work in teaching teams, and focus teaching on the development of emerging adolescents - to include such practices as individualized skill development, uses of technology, democratic process, team work, writing across the curriculum, problem solving, creativity, in-depth explorations, and guidance. Integrative approaches include correlation (interdisciplinary teaching of two or more subject specialties), fusion (bringing a variety of subjects together in focusing on an issue or theme, such as "American Multiculturalism"), and core (using the content and skillsnecessary to help learners deal directly with problems and issues of significance to them.) Fieldwork is required. Prerequisite: Admission to teacher education. Grade: C or better.
