This book explores four interrelated themes: rethinking civic
education in light of the diversity of U.S. society; re-examining
these notions in an increasingly interconnected global context;
re-considering the ways that civic education is researched and
practiced; and taking stock of where we are currently through use
of an historical understanding of civic education. There is a gap
between theory and practice in social studies education: while
social studies researchers call for teachers to nurture skills of
analysis, decision-making, and participatory citizenship, students
in social studies classrooms are often found participating in
passive tasks (e.g., quiz and test-taking, worksheet completion,
listening to lectures) rather than engaging critically with the
curriculum. Civic Education for Diverse Citizens in Global Times,
directed at students, researchers and practitioners of social
studies education, seeks to engage this divide by offering a
collection of work that puts practice at the center of research and
theory.
Differentiating Instruction With Menus for the Inclusive Classroom:
Social Studies for grades 3-5 offers teachers everything they need
to create a student-centered learning environment based on choice.
This book provides five different types of menus that students can
use to select exciting products that they will develop so teachers
can assess what has been learned-instead of using a traditional
worksheet format. Topics addressed include ancient history,
American history, government, U.S. documents, people in history,
and geography. Differentiating Instruction With Menus for the
Inclusive Classroom: Social Studies provides numerous types of
leveled menus that lower and on-level elementary-aged students can
use to demonstrate learning through a method of their choice. Menus
with similar formats but geared towards varying ability levels
allow teachers to differentiate easily. Using the creative and
challenging choices found in Three Shape menus, Tic-Tac-Toe menus,
List menus, 2-5-8 menus, and Game Show menus, students will look
forward to sharing their newfound knowledge throughout the year.
Also included are specific guidelines for products, rubrics for
assessing student products, and teacher introduction pages for each
menu.This is a must-have for any teacher wanting to differentiate
for a wide range of learners! Grades 3-5
This is the true story of Phyllis and her orange shirt. It is also
the true story of Orange Shirt Day (an important day of remembrance
for First Nations and non First Nations peoples). When Phyllis
Webstad (nee Jack) turned six, she went to the residential school
for the first time. On her first day at school, she wore a shiny
orange shirt that her Granny had bought for her, but when she got
to the school, it was taken away from her and never returned.
For over 20 years, school interventions involving former right-wing
extremists have been popular in Germany. In practice, they are
advertised and conducted as both civic education and extremism
prevention. This book uses an evidence-based and interdisciplinary
approach to examine the potentials and challenges of this format.
It provides a thematic embedding of German application, a
comprehensive review of attributed impact assumptions and the state
of related research. Furthermore, this research offers highly
valuable, unique and comprehensive insights based on empirical
evidence. It thus contributes to a better understanding of the
format and its complexity. Overall, the findings give no clear
indication that the involvement of former right-wing extremists in
schools initiate civic education processes or prevent political
extremism. Rather, the investigation found fundamental needs for
additional research, modification, and sensitization. In this vein,
this book makes a pioneer contribution to quality assurance and
evaluation research in civic education and extremism prevention.

Anna has done something terrible. She has given me her journal to fill. In Anna's journal the words walk across the page like bird prints in the mud. But it is hard for me. It is hard for me to find things to write about. "It's your job now," Anna says as she hands Caleb her journals, asking him to continue writing the family story. But Sarah, Jacob, Anna, Caleb, and their new little sister, Cassie, have already formed a family, and Caleb fears there will be nothing left to write about. But that is before Cassie discovers a mysterious old man in the barn and everything changes. Everyone is excited about the arrival of a new family member -- except for Jacob, who holds a bitter grudge. Only the special love of Caleb, and the gift he offers, can help to mend the pain of the past. Caleb's Story continues the saga begun by the Newbery Medal-winning Sarah, Plain And Tall and its sequel, Skylark, spinning a tale of love, forgiveness, and the ties that bind a family together.
