The published description builds developmentally appropriate learning experiences across history, geography, civics, economics, and culture, with instruction designed through themes, concepts, and modes of inquiry.

Per WGU's published description, D674 is a specialized course designed for learning effective and innovative methods for teaching social studies at the elementary level. The course delves into the best practices for introducing young learners to the complexities of history, geography, civics, economics, and culture. It emphasizes creating engaging, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences that foster critical thinking, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the world. This in-depth view of civic engagement fosters effective collaboration and dialogue surrounding the influence of these concepts on our world today. Students learn how to design instruction using themes, concepts, and modes of inquiry throughout the social studies disciplines, and the description closes on educators gaining the skills necessary to inspire a passion for social studies and prepare students to be informed, thoughtful citizens.
D674 closes the methods sequence on all four elementary tables: term 8 of the B.A. Elementary Education and the B.A. Educational Studies in Elementary Education, where it shares the term with its curriculum partner D673 plus the D694 health and PE and D695 fine arts methods pair, and term 10 of both the B.A. Special Education and Elementary Education dual licensure track and the B.A. Educational Studies in Special and Elementary Education. The M.A. Teaching, Elementary Education carries a same-named graduate twin, D681 (EDUC 5086, 2 CUs) at term 6 with an identical published description; the codes and credit counts differ, so match the code in your portal. On the licensure tables the live clinical and student-teaching courses always stay with you. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.

Coverage
What D674 completion covers
The D674 assessment
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. The description centers instructional-methods and lesson-design work. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D674 carries.
Developmentally appropriate experiences
The description's central demand: engaging, meaningful learning experiences matched to young learners. A secondary-school debate format dropped into a third-grade plan is the classic return.
The five disciplines through best practices
History, geography, civics, economics, and culture introduced through the description's best practices, which means the method carries the content, not a lecture with activities bolted on.
Critical thinking and empathy
Both outcomes are named in the description. Scored work shows students reasoning about the world and considering other perspectives, not recalling which event came first.
Themes, concepts, and modes of inquiry
The design language the description closes on: instruction designed using themes, concepts, and modes of inquiry across the disciplines. Inquiry has to structure the lesson, not decorate it.
Full degree plan integration
D674 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the four elementary tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee. Clinical and student-teaching requirements always stay with you.

D674 arrives in the same term as the health, PE, and fine arts methods courses, so it gets the leftover hours and the leftover effort. These are the stalls we take over most often.
A read-and-answer worksheet submitted where the rubric expects a mode of inquiry.
Developmental appropriateness asserted for the whole class with no attention to the grade band's actual range.
Empathy and critical thinking listed as objectives with no activity that could produce them.
The course squeezed between D694 and D695 and given a single weekend, so every strand lands shallow.
