This course is for those students in a secondary education program leading to initial 7-12 certifications in Social Studies. The course is designed to examine research and the effects of educational theories upon the objectives, curriculum design and delivery approaches of inclusive social studies classrooms.

Undertaken within a social constructivist framework, the course explores how curriculum can be adapted to meet the needs of students who have different learning styles and needs through the use of assistive technology.
