TE 401: Teaching Subject Matter to Diverse Learners, Social Studies Erik Byker August 28, 2008

Agenda Introductions Establishing norms for our classroom Course overview/Syllabus/For next time Purposes of social studies education Field Trip

Introductions: “Significant People and Places in our Personal Histories” First think of a person in your personal history who has had a significant impact on your life, be willing to share with the rest of the class. Place a dot on one of the maps of a place that has influenced you and share why.

Analyzing the data we collected What do you notice? What generalizations can you draw about students in our class? What can we learn about each other from this data?

Establishing Classroom Norms – Think, Pair, Share 1. Generate a list of needs you have to work productively in the group – BE SPECIFIC (e.g., “act respectfully” is vague and doesn’t give us much guidance as HOW to act) 2. Everyone gets to offer one thing from your list to generate a list of classroom norms 3. Can anything be combined? Is anything hard to follow?

Classroom Norms for TE 401, Sec. 7 Communicate freely, support each other Active listening, engaged, eye contact Be prepared for assignments Pull your own weight Be open to others ideas Collaboration Be on time Silence cell phone Productive group work Keep confidentiality Punctuality

Norms for Erik Be available Be approachable Don’t assume prior knowledge Give timely feedback Remember this is not our only class Give specific expectations for projects Be organized

Citizenship as a purpose of social studies education Individually – DRAW your idea of a model citizen and what he/she might look like, do, believe, stand for, etc. (and remember we are not focusing on your artistic abilities – stick figures are welcome here!) On the back of the paper WRITE what you think model citizens know, do, and believe Be prepared to share some ideas with the class

Citizenship as a purpose of social studies education In groups of four, think about what are characteristics of good citizens…think of someone you know who is a good citizen. What do they know, do, believe?

A Walk to the John Hannah Statue If educators are agreed on anything it is that the fundamental purpose of education is to prepare young people to be good citizens. John A. Hannah
