RAPID
CITY, S.D., Sept. 18,
2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Constitution Day
commemorates the September 17, 1787
signing of the United States Constitution. Each educational
institution that receives Federal funds for a fiscal year is
required to hold an educational program about the U.S. Constitution
for its students.
But NAU's commitment to teach about the US Constitution goes
deeper than a requirement: It aligns with our mission as an
institution of higher education and our NAU CORE Ability #4: Civic
Responsibility.
This year, in an effort to fulfill this commitment, we are
pleased to announce the General Education department's integration
of a US History and Constitution curricular element into a minimum
of one course per General Education subject area. These courses
include at least one activity that educates students on US History
or the Constitution. Our goal is to instill in our students the
interest and skills to perform their own research and think
critically about these topics that are so vital to the social
fabric of our country.
Starting in Fall 2021, NAU students will encounter US History
and Constitution-related activities integrated into the following
General Education courses:
- SC1100 Environmental Science
- SO1050 Introduction to Sociology
- HU2000 Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
- HU2100 Introduction to Humanities
- CS1301 Do the Numbers!
- EN2100 Speech
- MA1500 Intermediate Algebra
- MA2000 Quantitative Reasoning
- MA2050 College Algebra
Over the next year, NAU's General Education program will
continue to integrate US and Constitutional history across the
curriculum.
The learning outcomes for this program are as follows:
1. Students will recognize the role that the US Constitution
plays in various aspects of American life.
2. Students will apply research skills to locate accurate
information about the US Constitution and Constitutional Law.
3. Students will describe the history of how and why the US
Constitution was written.
4. Students will describe how the Constitution has played a role in
historical events in the US.
5. Students will identify different approaches to reading the
Constitution and how they affect Constitutional controversies.
