    Prerequisite: Admission to the Teacher Education Program Offered: Typically every Spring Term This course is designed to engage students in constructing age-appropriate curricula integrating the arts, humanities, and the natural sciences, and in the design and execution of assessment tools and teaching strategies appropriate to integrated learning. Students will plan and teach science in ways that account for wondering at the world, for seeking and honoring questions, and for the intensity of pursuing inquiry. They will plan and teach so their students will experience the arts and humanities as a host of languages that can be used and honed in the process of relating with the meaningful in their lives. Through these experiences, students will come to see the content of the arts, humanities, and sciences as perfect complements for making, finding, and sharing meaning, as well as narrative inquiry as a tool for making meaning in any content. Students will draw from the body of works and resources collected during EDS 335 as they engage children in group and individual inquiries. Experiences in this course are designed to help students further articulate the value of integrated learning for vitalizing Kentucky's Core Content for Assessment and Learning Goals, and to refine the alignment between their vision and their work. Taken concurrently with EDS 440, with a shared daily 4-hour practicum in the schools. 2 Course Credits

    Prerequisite: Admission to the Teacher Education Program Offered: Typically every Spring Term In this course, students will explore the structure of the elementary social studies and investigate ways to integrate rich social-studies content with developmentally appropriate content-area literacy instruction. Through teacher modeling, direct instruction, and cooperative and individual learning activities, students will explore strategies to help P-5 children meaningfully engage key social-studies concepts and ideas while developing competence in reading expository materials. Students will learn to assist children in conducting individual and group research using a variety of resources, including textbooks, supplementary trade books, the Internet, and interviews. Embedded in these experiences will be focused instruction to help children grapple with unfamiliar vocabulary, question what they read, draw inferences, synthesize understandings from multiple sources, and share their findings with others. In the daily practicum, students will integrate their developing knowledge with their own vision for the children they teach and with constructivist principles of human development as they design, teach, and assess a variety of integrated learning experiences, including Webquests and interdisciplinary units. Taken concurrently with EDS 435, with a shared daily 4-hour practicum in the schools. 2 Course Credits
