ADO 594 - Interdisciplinary Methods Grades 7-12

Catalog Year 2014-2015

This course is intended to provide adolescence education candidates with the ability to utilize the interrelationship of disciplined knowledge to further student understanding about how the world functions. Math, science, social studies, English, and foreign language education candidates will examine the common foundations, conceptual overlaps, and areas not addressed by conventional school subjects, but inherent within the broad spectrum of academia. Through a concept-driven approach, groups of interdisciplinary candidates will develop student learning activities and unit plans, which may be implemented in classroom settings. The intent is to develop reflective educators who can collaborate to use a variety of integrated teaching strategies that are inquiry-based and will address the needs and development levels of all learners.
