EDHM 4200

This course builds on EDHM 3100. Approaches for supporting senior secondary students’ engagement and learning in a humanities specialty (English Language Arts or Social Studies) are explored. Teacher candidates extend their application of pedagogical approaches and strategies consistent with constructivist philosophy and the nature of the humanities for the senior secondary context. Teacher candidates design lesson and unit plans that build disciplinary inquiry; promote critical, historical, and creative thinking; connect with authentic texts, social and historical issues, and diverse cultural perspectives; and align with the British Columbia Ministry of Education curriculum. The course prepares teacher candidates for their later practicums where they teach in their specialty area.
