A volume in Research in Curriculum and Instruction Series Editor:
O. L. Davis, Jr. The University of Texas at Austin In many
elementary classrooms, social studies has taken a back seat to
English Language Arts and Mathematics in the wake of No Child Left
Behind and Race to the Top This volume is not another hand-wringing
lament. On the contrary, the elementary educators who have
contributed to this volume have a positive set of stories to tell
about how social studies can play a central role in the elementary
classroom, how teachers can integrate social studies knowledge and
skills throughout the school day, and how this learning can carry
over into children's homes and communities. The seven case studies
in this book, one at each elementary grade level, highlight
exemplary teachers in whose classrooms social studies is alive and
well in this age of accountability. At the end of each case study,
each teacher provides advice for elementary teachers of social
studies. Our hope is that elementary teachers and prospective
teachers, elementary principals, social studies supervisors, staff
developers, and professors of elementary social studies methods who
study the stories that we tell can be empowered to return social
studies to its rightful place in the curriculum.
