This course is designed to prepare prospective teachers to engage with Indigenous perspectives, values, and methods as they relate to the learning context. This course will include an in-depth examination of decolonization, traditional Indigenous education and associated values.

This course explores the knowledge and skills required to implement programs of studies in teaching Social Studies in Elementary (1–6) Education. The course will address a range of approaches to develop instruction, plan units of study, integrate curriculum, develop resources and assessment strategies to meet students’ needs.
