Elementary Social Studies Across the Curriculum
There has never been a more critical time to approach social studies in the classroom: from pandemic to politics to social media and social justice, the list goes on. However, when it comes to finding curricular time in an already jam-packed school day, prioritizing social studies can be difficult. We can help! In this course you will explore the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to teaching social studies at the elementary level. Specifically, you will review, modify, and create resources that blend science, ELA, and social studies into the curriculum you may already use in your classroom. This course will also provide resources for navigating complex social studies topics with young students and make connections between critical literacy philosophy and social studies. By the end of this course, you will be ready to integrate social studies curriculum into your classroom across subject-areas!
