Social Science Education

Learn how to teach the Social Sciences!

The Social Sciences have one particular feature in common: they all deal with people's interactions with each other and with the material and spiritual world in which we live.

Our enthusiastic academics are dedicated teachers and researchers whose research directly informs our education programs. We work to develop friendly, supportive and professional relationships in the classroom or as active members of online learning groups.

We take considerable pride in designing units that will prepare you as a teacher to challenge your students' thinking and nurture a deep knowledge and understanding of society.  You will be equipped to guide your students in developing skills, values and positive attitudes. The academics in the Social Science Education team have formerly served as teachers and leaders in school education.
