Integrated Social Studies Major (B.S.E.)
The Integrated Social Studies (INSS) program prepares prospective teachers to be purposeful, deliberative, reflective practitioners, who teach students to contribute to the deepening of democracy, and promote the common good. The program is designed to develop preservice teachers who learn from practice, engage in collaborative inquiry and partnerships to promote student learning and continued professional growth, create equitable classrooms, plan/organize meaningful lessons and assessments, and view themselves as curriculum developers who recognize that social studies content and curriculum are more than information in textbooks and standardized curriculum guides. Graduates are prepared to teach social studies in grades 7-12 and are recommended Ohio licensure.
