Inhaltsangabe

Social Studies Matters: Teaching and Learning with Authenticity inspires readers to move beyond worksheets, lectures, notes, reports, and tests in culturally relevant, applicable, and highly engaging instruction.

We must immediately move past the “Sage on the stage” yammering on about this battle and that President, then handing out a bubble-sheet test to certify learning. There is a better way, and a higher calling everyone must realize. That the facts of history are democratized…and the skills of studying history are where the essential value is in the modern Social Studies classroom. We must carefully teach and allow students to practice the science and art of synthesis, understand analysis, revel in communication, and eagerly understand the events of the past so they can learn to be creative in solving the future problems of humanity. This title explores the philosophical underpinnings of the modern Social Studies classroom and adds practicality to the narrative that can be employed today for your students!
