Social Studies can be fun to teach but it can be hard to fit into an elementary school day. Students in this course will learn how to build an inquiry based social study unit based on the C3 Standards that can easily be integrated into literacy instruction. Participants will study questions, sources and activities that lead to a student’s deeper understanding of Social Studies concepts. The course will culminate with each participant having an inquiry based lesson that they can teach in their classroom.
Instructor Bio: David has been a Vermont teacher, principal and superintendent for over thirty years. He believes in making classrooms safe and engaging for students with plenty of project based learning. When he is not teaching at Castleton you can find David spending time with his grandchildren or restoring vintage typewriters!
