History I

Builds on EDUI 5053 and focuses on the design and implementation of the Intermediate History and Civics programs for Grades 7 to 10 based on the overall and specific expectations outlined in the Ontario Ministry curriculum documents. Through an understanding of the four concepts of historical thinking in an inquiry-based approach to learning, teacher candidates will be able to support students in understanding history as an interpretive discipline where students can rethink assumptions and consider the validity and credibility of evidence in order to construct/ re-construct new perspectives. Prerequisite: A minimum of 12 university credit hours in History
