This is a seminar course that examines the interactions between teachers and children in kindergarten, primary and junior grade educational settings. Students learn instructional methods (planning, learning environment, classroom management) and pedagogies for elementary teaching. Emphasis is placed on the integration of teaching practice with Social Studies curriculum and social learning theories. Critical pedagogies and Indigenous perspectives are introduced and explored. The law, legislations and government policies for education are explored and tied to professional practice. This course blends theory and practice and draws on students’ experiences from practicum placements.
