Based in practice and experience, lesson ideas and materials in the book and online are designed to help new teachers address Common Core learning standards, to work in inclusive settings, and to promote literacy and the use of technology in social studies classrooms. Chapters include highlighted Learning Activities, Teaching Activities, and Classroom Activities designed to provoke discussion and illustrate different approaches to teaching social studies and conclude with recommendations for further reading. Features of the fifth edition include:
- Activities called "Think it over," "Add your voice to the discussion," "Try it yourself," and "It’s your classroom” at the end of each chapter
- New topics such as the 1619 Project controversy, Stop WOKE campaigns, academic freedom, and legal restraints on 7–12 teachers
- New content on teaching literacy, including writing, reading, media, computer, and oral literacies
- Approaches to teaching advanced placement, international baccalaureate, and dual enrollment classes
- Multi-disciplinary and project-based teaching that combines history and social studies with the social sciences and other academic disciplines
- Links to the NCSS 3-C framework
- Information on becoming a professional leader through involvement in organizations like the NCSS and teacher unions
Designed for undergraduate and graduate pre-service social studies methods courses, this text is also useful for in-service training programs, as a reference for new social studies teachers, and as a resource for experienced social studies educators who are engaged in rethinking their teaching practice.
This text is supported by online materials, including discussion questions, lesson ideas, and links to lesson materials and activity sheets. You can find the resources here: https://alansinger.net/social-studies-for-secondary-schools/
