This course is designed to introduce you to methods and strategies of teaching history at the secondary level. The course focuses on several topics and themes such as recent debates about the teaching of Canadian, European, and world history; creating active learning opportunities based on primary resources; methods of historical inquiry; curriculum planning; and the use of technology in teaching and in student research. Students taking this course should have a background in historical content or be willing to research historical topics. Teaching methods involve some lecture, classroom discussion, and collaborative work on teaching resources. Course Resources Required Course Text There is no one essential text for the course. I will be selecting excerpts from a variety of texts. I will provide bibliographic references and you can choose the text that best suits your teaching needs.
Assessment consists of information collected that is used to determine your standing in the course, help you think about how you learn, and how to improve your learning. A letter grade will be generated to indicate your standing in the course. Grading System
SOE & Course Policies School of Education Attendance Policy Attendance is expected at all classes. You are responsible for meeting this obligation. You must notify the instructor when you expect to be, or have been, absent from class for any reason. It is the instructor’s prerogative to determine when your academic standing is affected by an absence or absences. You will receive a letter of warning in writing if you are in danger of being dismissed from this course for lack of attendance. You must notify the instructor, the Chair of the School of Education, and the Registrar's Office if you are absent from classes for serious medical or compassionate reasons. Course Policy: An initial absence should be discussed with a fellow student so that important activities, work and discussions are somehow replaced. The second and subsequent absences should be discussed with the instructor. Class content cannot be pre-packaged and given to read at your leisure. You need to be in class and contribute to class activities. School of Education Policy on Completed Assignments You are required to have all assignments completed and submitted by the last day of each Bachelor of Education academic term. Failure to do so will delay the start of your field placement and may jeopardize your professional certification. Course Policy: It is expected that all assignments will be handed in on time. It is not possible for class presentations and other in-class work to be "made up". Any incomplete work will effect your evaluation. No assignments will be accepted by email. Submit assignments as requested by .pdf to Edmodo or posted as a .doc to the wall. University Policies Academic regulations and procedures are governed by University policy. This is a link to all the St. Thomas University policies: http://w3.stu.ca/stu/currentstudents/policies/default.aspx If you have a disability that could affect your performance in this class or that requires an accommodation, you must notify the Coordinator of Services for Student Accessibility during the first week of classes so that the appropriate arrangements are put in place.
