The Social Studies Education Department at Manhattanville College prepares undergraduate and graduate student candidates to teach the multiple disciplines subsumed under social studies in grades 5-12: history, economics, political science, geography, sociology, and anthropology. This prepare students to vary their lessons to reach all students. Candidates are challenged to construct knowledge as they study educational writers with a particular focus on making their theoretical ideas practical. Choice and creativity in the Social Studies methods course enable students to demonstrate their knowledge and enthusiasm for the content. Some techniques that are modeled include: songs, dialogues, visuals, documents, stations, floor maps, and debates. Students create Do Now activities, write interior monologues, engage in collaborations, write reflections, utilize SmartBoard and Blackboard technology, and use Backwards Design in lesson planning. Students address the requirements of Common Core, EdTPA and how they impact the social studies curriculum. The philosophy of the Special Education program is based on the fundamental belief that all children, regardless of learning and behavioral differences, are entitled to a free, appropriate education and should be provided with meaningful instruction in the least restrictive environment. The purpose is to prepare outstanding teachers who can meet the challenges of today’s 21st century classrooms.
