Social Studies For Secondary Schools: Teaching To Learn, Learning To Teach

This text for secondary social studies methods courses integrates discussions of educational goals and the nature of history and social studies with ideas for organizing social studies curricula, units, lessons, projects, and activities. A major theme is that what teachers choose to teach and the way they teach reflect their broader understanding of society, history, and the purpose of social studies education. Advocating an inquiry and activity-based view of social studies teaching that respects the points of view of students and teachers, and based in practice and experience, it offers systematic support and open, honest advice for new teachers. Each chapter addresses a broad question about social studies education; sub-chapters begin with narrower questions that direct attention to specific educational issues. Chapters conclude with essays about related social studies topics and sources for further reading, lesson "examples," and activities. Lesson ideas and materials in the book and online are especially designed to help new teachers to address common core learning standards, to work in inclusive settings, and to promote literacy and the use of technology in social studies classrooms. 9780415826587 0415826586 0 BOOK EDUCATION NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=IlgHnwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
