Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Political Science Education] From University of Delaware

Effective social studies teaching requires extensive content knowledge in different areas of social studies as well as teaching skills. The strong emphasis on pedagogy and content knowledge prepares the teacher candidates to teach the content of their major as well as the other social science disciplines, including history, civics, economics, psychology, sociology, and geography. 

Even before they begin student teaching our candidates complete over 75 hours of classroom experience tutoring, mentoring, and teaching adolescents in local secondary schools. In their senior year candidates participate in a year-long placement in the middle or high school where they will complete their student teaching.
