This document comprises a modular syllabus for a college education course for teaching open education in elementary and secondary schools. The aims of the course are to introduce students to open classrooms, to introduce a developmental approach for the teaching of a sense of history, to offer students a chance to use the techniques in an open classroom style, and to develop a learning group workshop format to contribute to the growing body of literature on open classroom teaching. The course takes a humanistic approach to education and examines the following major topics: (1) the development of a personal sense of history, (2) the developmental approach, (3) the contract system, (4) the modular syllabus, and (5) unified educational philosophy and techniques.
