studies teachers and (2) those who are seeking a general
background in the social science area. Students choose the
Concentration that is most appropriate for them. If you have
questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Deborah Carter
Quick at (704) 378-1166 or

Social Studies Education Concentration
The goals of the Social Studies
Education are:
-
To help students become
complete human beings who can contribute to the
development of society.
-
To ensure that students will
acquire an understanding of the social, political,
geographical, economic, and historic forces operating in
society.
-
To provide in-depth
preparation in history and the social sciences.
-
To train effective teachers
by providing for the development of the skills required
to formulate teaching objectives, use resources, select
content, use effective teaching strategies, evaluate
learning outcomes, and interact with students, parents,
and others.
-
To promote a love of
learning that can be transferred to students.
The prospective teacher should
meet with the Coordinator of Social Studies Education.
Students desiring licensure-only for social studies
education, without earning a social science degree at
Johnson C. Smith, must fulfill the same requirements
described under Concentration 1.
