EDEC 4478 - Teaching Language Arts and Social Studies to 4th and 5th Grade LearnersAs part of the Early Childhood Generalist Endorsement, this course equips early childhood educators to teach language arts and social studies at the fourth and fifth grade levels. Students explore evidence-based strategies for designing instructional activities and assessments that are reflective of Ohio’s Learning Standards and the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) Standards. The course facilitates teachers’ abilities to create engaging learning environments for fourth and fifth grade students, maximizing the use of cooperative learning activities and appropriate educational technology. Critical thinking, problem-solving, and inquiry-based teaching and learning are explored in both language arts and social studies, as well as diagnostic techniques as they apply to the fourth and fifth grade setting. Candidates apply the knowledge and skills obtained from this course in a planned sequence of professional field experiences with young adolescents in a fourth and fifth grade setting under the supervision of qualified university and school-based faculty.
