H151 American History for Education Majors3 credit(s)
This course serves as an overview of American history for elementary education majors. It is organized around the social studies standard defined by the Minnesota Department of Education, and as such stresses, in the context of United States and Minnesota history, (1) concepts of the ways human beings view themselves in and over time, and (2) concepts of people, places, and environments. The course pays special attention to the various periods into which historians divide American history; the racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity that has marked American society throughout its history; the creation and development of the United States’ political and economic institutions; the role the United States has played in the world; and the ways in which changing interpretations of their own history has shaped Americans’ understanding of their identity. Offered spring semester. Class is available only for elementary education.
