Teaching Elementary Social Studies: Principles and Applications - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

For Elementary Social Studies Methods courses.

Today, social studies teachers are facing more diversity than ever before―in content, pedagogy, and student populations. With diversity as its central theme, and encompassing more than 150 classroom activities and strategies, this text will ready prospective teachers to meet challenges in all areas of diversity, sensitively and effectively. The author encourages students to see each child as bringing to the classroom a specific set of skills and knowledge that can inform teaching as well as enhance the child's learning and that of his/her classmates. In addition, he argues that diversity in subject matter, instructional methods, and teaching venues affects social studies instruction as much as diversity in the student populations, and thus, is equally important.
