Inquiry in the Humanities and Social Sciences at the Elementary Level

Examines how teachers enhance children’s understanding of history and social studies as part of a coordinated approach to the humanities. The goal is for teachers to engage students actively in reading, writing, and speaking through approaches that develop critical skills and habits of mind in relation to issues of citizenship, community, social justice, and the pursuit of truth in an evolving world. Explores methodology and curriculum design, applicable within and beyond social studies/history and language arts/English. Graduate students are required to demonstrate advanced levels of study and research.
