6. Familiarize yourself with social science teacher education programs at three other universities comparing them to the USF program and noting the strengths of each. Submit a paper that compares and contrasts the programs.
7. Interview SSE faculty at three other universities regarding their research agenda. Summarize your findings in a two-to-four page paper.
8. Design and execute an applied research study on a problem associated with social cience education.*
9. Prepare a proposal for external funding by a government agency, educational organization, or foundation.*
10. Conduct shadow science of (1) a social science supervisor and (2) a social science teacher. Submit your findings in an appropriately-lengthed paper.

- Learning Outcomes: Students must complete all requirements of this course sequence within two years of initial registration. During the first semester of registration, students will begin to prepare a professional portfolio that documents successful completion of the assigned tasks. Each semester, the student must document substantial progress on the tasks (i.e., 25% of all requirements completed in the first semester, 50% by the end of the second semester, 75% at the completion of the third semester, and 100% by the fourth semester.)
- Major Topics: 1. Submit for publication at least two articles.
2. Present at least one session at a state, regional or national conference.
3. Take a position on a major issue in social science education issue.
4. Familiarize yourself with social science teacher education programs at three other universities.
5. Interview SSE faculty at three other universities.
6. Design and execute an applied research study.
7. Prepare a proposal for external funding.
