Overview

As a social studies teacher at the secondary level, you’ll help youth navigate a vast world of people and cultures—to arrive at a better understanding of their place in society. You’ll show them the value of having a voice in government, knowing their roots, and working for the welfare of others.

Learn innovative methods to teach history, geography, government and economics, with an emphasis on a multicultural and pro-social education. Develop lesson plans that encourage curiosity and a welcoming classroom environment—then apply them as a student teacher.
