This course is designed to provide teacher candidates with opportunities to both learn about significant historical and contemporary global issues and how to design learning activities to engage young adolescents in similar inquiries. Teacher candidates will investigate a range of issues including poverty, climate change, human conflict, and the spread of disease from a regional and global perspective. They will use this newly acquired knowledge to locate and evaluate curriculum materials for use in middle grades social studies classrooms and to design instructional units aligned with the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Social Studies.
