Geography 417 |
This course was designed to help pre-service teachers to get a solid background in the history and geography of California so that they will be well prepared to teach elementary school students these disciplines and this subject matter when they become classroom teachers. This course is especially geared toward helping students who may become fourth grade teachers since the California content standards emphasize California history and geography during fourth grade. Student who become teachers in other grades will also benefit from this course because our focus will be on the methods and epistemologies of history and geography, skills that will benefit students in a variety settings in and out of the classroom. .
